Beneficial Bacteria Question

[kimon201]

Hey so my friend is starting an aquarium and we went to the fish store today and he saw the seachem product stability. It enhances bacteria growth in a period of a week and it says you can put fish in from the first day with it. He was wondering, would it be bad for the tank to pour a whole bottle in every few days? Would that be poison? He still wants to wait two weeks to let the natural cycle take place but he was wondering if it would still help the water and bacteria by pouring in some more.
thanks guys!

First, welcome to the forum. Secondly, the only beneficial bacteria are the ones that are gained from cycling a tank without these products. Bacteria, like all other living organisms require oxygen to live. I don't think that's exactly the environment inside a sealed bottle. Don't waste money, have some patience, and it all will be done in the same amount of time anyway.

Yep your much better off doing a fishless cycle, if you search on here there will be many threads pop up about one.
