Superbac has a new product out (in the last year or so) which I believe is called "Real Nitrifying Bacteria". Wish they picked another name because I keep thinking it's a description.
So, I've used this product 3 times now and I think I like it. My boss had to set up a QT for garden eels and had 2 days. She threw in the eels with the Superbac and expected a little burp in parameters.... nothing.
So I tried..... had to set up a quick QT for a tank that was indeed burping after I lost a mantis. Not from the death itself, but from the disruption of the DSB and his tunnel. Up goes a spare 28 AIO, threw in some Superbac and followed it with a pricey Rhinopias. Nothing. The tank did not cycle at all.
2nd, was cycling a tank. Ammonia jumped to 3. Poured in some Superbac, by morning it was 0.25.
Recently set up a 25g angler tank. Used Superbac.... have not seen ammonia. I can put a whole silverside in there and nothing.
The next tank I'm going to try some "withs" and "withouts" to make it a little bit more "hobbyist controlled" and use pure ammonia for better measurements.
Anyone else want to try this product and share your experiences?
