does it really work? i dont wanna wait for the cycle on my 180. so i plan on getting a big container and just pouring the whole thing in.
 
dude lol, a real cycle process doesn't take that long. i had my 400 cycled within a week but already had most of my fish in there to help the cycle. i only added the 2 aro's 2 weeks after because i was afraid to move them. but i never tried what ur talkin about
 
is your filter media used or new?
 
there all new. im tlkn about the cycle stuff they sell in petsstores. the liquid that has the preserved bacteria. where u can just dump the solution in the water and its cycled.. just wondering if it really works. because if it does imma buy couple of those cycling bottles and just unload into the 180. im too impatient to wait a week haha.
 
To answer your question NO the bacteria in the bottles of CYCLE is the wrong type of bacteria its a waste of money. The fastest way you are going to fully cycle that tank is to seed it with established filter media from a cycled tank and maybe add some BIO-SPIRA.

Bio spira is the only product on the market that contains the correct bacteria for the nitrogen cycle.
 
^^^^^ what he said....BIO SPIRA rocks!!! only stuff that works!!! make sure you add fish right away though !!:)
 
I have used microbe lift and thera-p to seed my tanks and the only thing I notices is it speeds up the ammonia cycle but nothing else
