My last tank setup didn't work very well, I had constant fungal outbreaks, and so I am starting fresh.
I have totally cleaned out the tank, throughly washed the gravel and bought new filter media.
I added Seachem Prime which is says it removes chlorine, chloramine, and ammonia as well as detoxifying nitrite and nitrate. It says it should be used during cycling to alleviate toxicity and to allow the bio-filter to more efficiently remove toxins. Is the bio-filter refering to bacteria?
So, if I wanted to add fish fairly quickly, can I use Bio-Spira with this product? And when exactly is Bio-Spira added? Before I add fish, or do I go to the LFS and purchase both fish and product on the same day and add them at the same time? Does Bio-Spira mean I don't have to cycle at all?
Thanks!!!
