Gives filter big shot of the bacteria you want to start growing.

Have you expierienced peaks of both substances one after the other and then fall back to zero again or you just assume that the cycle completed cause you haven't seen fish gasping on the surface?I have started several threads in the past involving live bacteria in bottles and I've seen the hesitation of many members on these products.I have tried a few my self and monitored NH3 and NO2 and realised that it took the same time (4-8weeks)that it takes under normal circumstances.My only explanation for the presence of these products in the market is that the demand for instant cycling is so great that manufacturers are almost forced to invent such products.
