It is a theory, but I am not a scientist. Has anyone ever actually studied these bacteria properly hello scientists?
I saw an interview of Dr tims creator about his bottled bacteria. He basically stated that most bottled bacteria is the type that comes from waste treatment plants which is more suited to live in super high nutrient environments where ammonia and nitrite is off the charts rather than our low nutrient systems. This is apparently why a lot of people have issues using bottled bacteria.
It could also signal issues when hyper saturating your water with ammonia allowing the other kind to grow.
