Parameters? Bacteria?

[mrozdak]

I went to my LFS to see if mine matched theirs it didnt, im using the tetra kit and they use the instant ocean kit theres are:

NH3-.2-.4
NO2- .0-.2
NO3- 10
PH- 7.8

He then gave me what he said was TLC live bacteria, he said put 1 tblspoon every week should i do this, what does it do?

IMO the bacteria is pointless. if you have LR then just wait for your cycle to complete on it's own.

+2 I think the bottled bacteria is a gimmick.

you are going through a cyle dont worry it will end when nitrates end 0

Nutrafin test kits are good brand i use them all the time

Dont add the bacteria kind of pointless as it will grow on its own if you have liverock and livesand

If you dont have LR or LS you need to get some asap

if you need more info on tank cycling pm me and i will give you the low down.............

I have both lr and ls, But the bacteria isnt bad even if it doesnt do anything?
