Review: Worked Well With Fishless Cycling & Setting Up New Tank in Place of Cracked One. Highly Recommend! - I bought this product to speed up the cycling process in a new betta fish tank, and to dechlorinate my water so it would be safe for my newly added fish. Within a couple of days of adding the Quick Start to speed up my fishless cycling, I saw the spikes in ammonia, nitrates, and lastly the growth of the nitrates. For me, this product worked effortlessly, and after having the fish for a month now, I plan to buy more stress coat in the future. A week ago, my fish tank cracked and leaked out a good amount of water, but after adding stress coat to the backup tank (a really large Tupperware bin), my fish was calm, did not freak out, and lived through quite a stressful experience. After saving what water I could from his tank, and saving the filter media, I added new water with more stress coat, and he's now better than ever, and even more lively than before. Also, if you are starting a new tank, this product would be perfect for you because of the small size. The amount of chemical is about the size of a film canister, and since you only use quick start once, I did not feel guilty about the price/amount of chemical I would not be using. I highly recommend this product for both the price and the size for setting up a new tank. Review: Great for our fish!!! - Great product! Cleans our fish tank really well.
