IMPORTANT question about Safestart:
Used it to cycle our tank, but it says on the bottle that it can be used after medicating a tank also. We had to us Jungle Lifeguard All-In-One treatment for a fungus problem and take our carbon cartridge out. We left the Bio-Wheel in and running. From checking our water parameters this AM, appears we have lost some beneficial bacteria thru the 6 day treatment. Yesterday was the end of the treatment and, as directed on the box, done a 25% w/c and added a water conditioner (for us, that was 3 drops of Prime).
I did call Tetra and a Rep, in hard to understand English, told me that it can be used for this. He told me to add the 3.38 oz of SafeStart to the water before putting the water into the tank b/c there is already a fish in the tank. When doing a cycling w/SafeStart, SafeStart is added to the tank before the fish is put in.
So, what do you think? Or, do I need to do a new Thread asking about this?
