Hey I just put the rest of the bottle of Tetra SafeStart I got a few days ago in my tank, the bottled bacteria I had before might've been dead and I heard good things about this brand. Anyways the main difference between this bacteria and the other brands I've used is that when I put it in, it looked like a bunch of dust in the water, is that normal? Good or bad?
(Also quick unrelated question if anyone's feeling kind, is it normal in cycling for the nitrites to go up before the ammonia goes down? I know that definitely shouldn't be how it works, but that's what my testing kit is showing me.)
