Most of the bottled bacteria starters I've tried work just fine. I use them often to setup the final stage of quarantine.
The one issue ive found longer term, especially with dr Tim's is strange and severe bacterial blooms that seemingly come oit of nowhere. I recommend at some point in the next couple of months getting a couple different types of denitrifying bacteria products and dosing the tank with the recommended maintenance dose. Something like seachem stability or one of the prodibio products. My theory is Dr Tim's is prone to a problematic monoculture, or is susceptible to being over run by certain types of heterotrophic bacteria.
