Fritz Turbo and Nitrocycle

[ddaddy2420]

Anyone used this before? Supposedly I use these together and can cycle in 5 days. I’m not so much concerned with a 5 day cycle as I am with how to use? Do I add the fritz for 5 days in a row and then add nitocycle at the end of the 5 days? No real instructions anywhere.

I’ve used fritz turbo start before, and the instructions on the back say to add the right amount for your tank all at once. The nitrocycle appears to also be bacteria, but I’ve never used it.

Think you'd need Nitrocycle first. From what I read on website its to get the ammonia up. Fritz is the bacteria, it needs ammonia to get established.

Directions and Usage:
Directions Use 1mL of nitrocycle per gallon of tank water to achieve an ammonia level of 3ppm. 1 Bottle treats up to 250 gallons of water. NOTE: This product is intended for use during initial (i.e. pre-stocking) aquarium conditioning. It should not be used in systems that have been stocked with live animals.

I used Fritz and followed the directions on the bottle. I think I added a couple of clowns 24 hours later, and was good to go.
