Dr Tims is ten day bottle bac and it doesn't fail. All you do is let your current mix stew until day 15, waaay past limits, change water, and you're cycled. there's no back and forth about it.
you never needed the mb7. I think we are up to one hundred reefs now in work threads applying this bottle bac + 15 day rule, seeing what cycling bac does on a seneye meter gives people a different perspective than what we get from color tube kits, or people posting their parameter approximations from the color tube comparison kits.
Do not think there is any scenario where one bottle of bac doesn't work, and then you have to buy redundants. that's non seneye testing and then extrapolation out to forums without any verification, we have all done it at times.
You need to know that updated cycling science is concise, has no fails logged in a thousand starts on file, directly has been measured by seneye across brands and logged, and has cycling wrapped up tightly, there's nothing to coax or counter-buy. updated cycling science knows no cycle stalls, making you have to buy more things. your cycle is done by the date on the bottle bac label, we aren't making crazy claims.
adding water bac to water and it working isn't a feat like forums make it out to be. its a certain cycle for ammonia in ten days says a cycling chart as well, from eighty years ago.
I find it ironic that bro science rewrote cycling rules and then once digital meters came on board they didn't disagree. and that authors are silent about it, nobody is discussing on paper what seneye shows. it has shocked their paradigms Im thinking.
The greatest insult to marine aquarium microbiology was half a million color tube varied interpretations taken as fact, surface area mechanics rejected, and the bacteria assigned a weakness.
its the perfect scenario to drive unneeded retail purchases.
