    Yes, it's very convincing... except, I don't get it... there is an ammonia spike, so THIS IS STILL an ammonia spike... it does seem to go away fast, but I don't believe that this is still a good idea to use when cycling with fish.

    well i was just wondering since the ammonia needs to be added immediately the shelf life must suck just another bottle of dead bacteria

    So I tested my waters.. Nitrate, nitrite and ammonia are all zero, PH was 8.0 ... hmmmmmm I bought two female mollies to put in there to see whats up! we'll see how it goes. I'll keep testing through out the week I suppose
