Fritz TurboStart 900 dosing

[CodyH]

Hey All,

I'm new here so forgive me if this is a dumb question or if it has been previously answered. I was setting up a 29-gallon tank and picked up a 1oz bottle of Fritz TurboStart 900 to cycle it (since the bottle says it's good for 25 gallons) but I managed to get my hands on a 40-gallon instead. Will the 1oz bottle be enough to cycle the 40? I'm ok with it taking longer to cycle but I didn't want to waste the bottle if it's not enough.

it is enough do just this for a headache free cycle

add it

add 2 pinches of ground up fish food let this mix run for 10 days, it's now cycled, saving you all testing it's going off the ammonia drop line from a cycling chart/day ten, and that works all the time.

what we discussed is testless reef cycling. it also accounts for the fact even if you do test, misreads are 99% likely to mislead you for up to eighteen straight weeks. we have a definite ready date above. day ten, after the stewing. no testing required, any test kit that disagrees is a misreading test kit you were going to encounter anyway. I have a 33 page thread of testless cycling

if you added half your current bottle into the larger tank: still ready in ten days after hydration, rock and feed and bac.


if you added 3x bottles, still ready at day ten, any common variation you impart (1/2 pinch of feed vs recommended 2) still ready at day ten


what water bacteria in water do isn't largely impacted by us given ten days wait. when requiring 0-1 days wait, there's room for outcome error.

updated cycling science knows that cycling is not something hard to accomplish, its fish food and ten days and some degree of anyone's cycling bottle bac.


the real hitch: you can carry fish on day ten, but if you skip disease preps you will be posting in Jays disease forum within 8 mos.

find their start thread/build thread

see how the majority are 8 mos or less old

disease anticipation is where it's at/cycling isn't part of that equation/cycling is drop bottle drop feed come back in a week/done / don't own an ammonia or nitrite test kit, you'll never need to run them.

Thanks for taking the time to give such a detailed answer! I appreciate it

What if you already added amonia and Dr Tims? I am on day 3 and see nitrtites but very little and high amonia even tough I used less then it said! I feel like I just poured cloudy water because there was no smell at all! I even have Mb start but didint use it. Bad reviews for one thing and also syas it for fish cycling! I was worried because I have had it 6 months and ac went out for a day and got to over 90 degrees. Also has no smell! BRS says it come from algae barn so I think it will come with a cooler pad or ice. Oh, I am speaking of Fritz turbo start!
