Aquarium Advice Freak
For the record I don't normally use bacteria in a bottle to cycle a tank. However I'm considering it for my QT since it will only be for another 1.5 weeks (knock on wood no parasites show up). I have a seeded sponge filter in there but it seems to be having trouble keeping up with the bioload and I'll see about 1ppm of ammonia every day before the WCs (it slowly accumulates nitrates so I know it's cycled).
I've been doing multiple water changes daily to keep it near .25 but I'd like to try something else. Any concerns with using something like SafeStart? If it works it should be ok for the last part of quarantine right? I don't need the bacteria to last longer than that since ill be bleaching everything after.
Thanks for opinions.
