3 questions

[Mr.Fairywrasse]

Hi everyone, back at it after a 10 year break. I have three questions and would appreciate your input.

1- I live in Canada and have recently received two frozen solid bottles of Vibrant reef cleaner and coral chroma color. Does freezing render these two products useless???

2- If you have a nitrite spike in a new start up, does dosing Seachem prime cease the continued bacterial growth and cycle?

3- Other than getting bit or stung, is there a good reason not to put your cleaned hands into a reef tank system?

Thanks!!

1. maybe? im not too sure

2. Wait till the cycle is done, dont rush it, the nitrite eating bacteria need to form

3. Harms, stresses and scares all your tank stuff, no matter how well you clean your hands there are bacteria and oil that leach from them. Its always best not to put your hands in the tank unless you have to.
