A bio brick is simply a place for bacteria to colonize.
Yes, you can still add nitrifying bacteria.

Please read the first link I posted.

*Update* 24 hours after 50% water change and dosing of bio-spira. Ammonia has dropped to .5 ppm and Nitrites to .5… Nitrates are now present and up to 40 ppm

Ok great. I’ll be adding some tomorrow. Sorry for all the questions. Just want a solid understanding and hear what other have to say. Thanks for all of the help!

Dump the whole bottle in. Ignore instructions to add so many capfuls at once
