little bit confused

[~Erik3.8.07~]

i just bought this stuff called stress zyme that suppose to put the helpful ammonia eating bacteria in the water. After adding this do u still have to wait for it to cycle? or can u put the fish in right away? since it says it puts in the bacteria already

Nope...you still have to let the tank cycle...

There's a product available in the US called Biospira that may allow you to introduce fish within 24 hours...but not StressZyme...

[~Erik3.8.07~]

ok thx just wanted to clarify wasnt too clear on the bottle

[gm72]

Do a fishless cycle and you'll be in great shape.

[zackish]

That stress zyme does absolutely nothing, I just threw mine out.

[gm72]

Agreed. It is junk.

[Chris24]

can u use the bio spira if you allready have fish?

If you have fish in the tank, leave them in, go to your LFS and buy a bottle of Seachem's Stability. Add as many capfuls as per directions everyday for 7 days. You'll (and your fish) will be fine.

[~Erik3.8.07~]

damn no good at all? cost me like 5 bucks n i think i'll check out that stability stuff

Cycle is from Nutrafin, correct? I've never used it. It usually comes with the aquarium kits when you buy them here, but I usually toss it. I've been using Seachem for a couple of years now and have cycled quite a few tanks with it and have had nothing but sucess with it
