Algaebarn quick cycle kit

[CringeTankDaddy]

Has anyone used the RapidCycle kit from Algaebarn? It boasts a fishless cycle in less than a week but I can't find anybody talking about it. I'm assuming there's something not perfect about it but what? What am I missing when doing this, if it is so simple?

It's because it's a relative newcomer to the starter bacteria business. There are quite a few products that are generally considered very good already.

Microbacter7, Dr Tim's, fritz turbo start, and biospira have it down pretty well at this point. Once.you find good starter bacteria, there isn't a need to switch.

I'm sure the algae barn stuff is equally good.

The algaebarn kit includes Ammonia + Fritz turbo start, nothing gimmicky about that. Known reliably fast cycling bacteria.
