"Bio Spira"

[Kissifish]

Has anyone used this product? I've read what the manufacturer says about it, but I don't agree with putting the stuff in one day and fish the next.

I just wandered..... in the case of someone with an emergency situation.....would it help to stabilize the tank?

Given there are so many out there with NTS, I mean.

I just used it for the third time this evening. I have a 100 gal. tank that I totally screwed up and had to move all the fish to a 55 until my bio spira arrived. I dumped all the fish back in the 100 gal. (1 6 inch jack dempsey, 1 3 inch jack dempsey, 2 7 inch oscars , & 1 8 inch pleco. I originally started this tank with these fish in June with bio spira. The stuff is amazing. I would have no hesitation in using it with a full load of fish. It must be refrigerated though, and is hard to get because of that. I order mine from www.fishstoretn.com. You should have it in 2 days. There is also another product called the "New Improved Cycle" which is also promising. I have never used it, but have also heard good things about it, but it is not an "instant cycle" like bio spira. If you want to learn more about bio spira, here are a couple of links which you might find interesting.

I had the same problem, except with antibiotics. Had no choice. ) Got a batch of fish that got sick after I quarantined them and had added them to the community tank.

Pet Depot carries it here. Seems to be working.

Much better than stressing the fish by having to go through regular cycling again. I hope.....
