Review on 🐠 Instant Ocean BIO-Spira Water Treatment: Revolutionize Your Aquarium with 8.45-Ounces of Enhanced Care (46798779643) by Aaron Urena

I've always been told not to rush aquarium cycles. That an aquarium without a 1-2 month cycle is by no means ready or safe for expensive fish. And for many years I followed that advice until I built my last tank. On the recommendation of a trusted fridge, I bought a few bottles of this stuff and a plate of Marinepure to colonize the bacteria. I poured into both bottles and began dosing ammonia. The first 3 days were as expected. Very high ammonia content. Then on day 4 I checked and got 0 readings! Tested 5-6 more times and then used a different brand kit and still got zero value. However, nitrites were off the charts. The levels were actually higher than my set could test. I gave it a few more days and in fact the nitrites were also at zero. I re-dosed the ammonia and this time the tank was able to process the ammonia in 2 days (3 for nitrite). The ammonia was re-dosed and the tank was able to process it in 1 day. At this point I was sure the aquarium could use some fish, so I took 4 purple lionfish. 2 months have passed and all four are alive and well. In general, the cycle lasted only 2 weeks. From now on I plan to use Bio Spira in EVERY new aquarium build.
