    The actual water doesn't hold much in the way of beneficial bacteria. It's primarily found on/in surfaces/crevices. A six pack bought you a gallon of dirty water from someone else's tank.

    I'll have to admit this has been delayed because of the unusual heat. There is no AC in the garage (yet) and it's just too hot for me to stay in there very long. We usually see about 1 week of temps in the 80s. It's been in the 80s and 90s for over 6 weeks. A California coastal girl doesn't do well in anything over 74.

    I hope our new extra hot world doesn't repeat itself next summer.

    Microbe-lift night out 2, this is the nitrifying bacteria in conjunction with the special blend. I've used the system with great results.
