Tetra safestart plus for bacteria?

[jojobo]

Should I use this bacteria in a bottle? Tetra i think is a pretty trusted brand. If i do when should I add it? And do I need to fishless cycle after this?

Safe start is hit or miss. Are you currently cying? Have you set your tank up?

I going to start soon.

I'm also looking at "plant cycling"? without the ammonia, what do you think?

Why would it not work? Will the bacteria colony not remain fora long time?
