HI all, so I'chiliad using TSS to wheel my tank since I read people had good success with it. I'm doing a fish-in-cycle. So using this how oftentimes exercise I apply it? Practice I accept to add more after the commencement solar day? Also I got some info from this thread: Q & A With Tetra about Tetra SafeStart

Welcome to fishlore!

You add it once at the start and then exit it for two weeks with no water changes.

Have you lot started the fish in bicycle?

Concur with BottomDweller Add the whole bottle at once, later shaking the heck out of it, and recommendation is 1-2 minor fish per 10 gallons of tank size.

BottomDweller , I haven't started the fish-in cycle nonetheless (I hope to start it tomorrow). Punkin , The whole bottle? It says to add 5ml to each vi litres of water, should I do that? Besides thank you for the quick replies

BottomDweller , I oasis't started the fish-in wheel yet (I hope to get-go it tomorrow). Punkin , The whole bottle? It says to add together 5ml to each half dozen litres of water, should I do that? Also thanks for the quick replies
Howdy there! Yes, I would add the whole bottle. You tin can't overdose that stuff. That way you can exist certain yous are getting plenty of the beneficial bacteria you demand to assist go on your fish safe when you offset your wheel.

How many gallons or liters is your tank?

Once you open the bottle the bacteria begin dying off, so no use in saving whatever part of the canteen.

BottomDweller , I oasis't started the fish-in cycle even so (I hope to offset information technology tomorrow). Punkin , The whole bottle? It says to add 5ml to each 6 litres of water, should I exercise that? Also thank you for the quick replies
If you don't already take the fish why not exercise a fishless cycle? Fishless cycles are often faster than fish in cycles. They also generally easier, you lot just have to add an ammnonia source and keep an heart on the levels. In a fish in cycle I would be constantly worrying almost the fish in there. Yous would need to practise frequent water changes to keep the fish rubber. Likewise with tetra safe get-go you cannot dose Prime to protect the fish against ammonia and nitrite.

Lesser Dweller and Punkin are correct...add the whole bottle. Every bit Punkin mentioned...milk shake the mess out of it for at least 3 minutes.

Hello there! Yep, I would add the whole bottle. You can't overdose that stuff. That way yous can be sure you lot are getting enough of the beneficial leaner you need to help keep your fish safe when you start your cycle.

How many gallons or liters is your tank?

It's 25 gallons/virtually 100 litres

Information technology'due south 25 gallons/about 100 litres
Ok. Mine was 20 gallons and I used the canteen size that was marked for twoscore gallons. (I'grand non at home, so I am not sure the ounces). I had success with it.

Generally because I'm impatient lol. I've read an email that came directly from Tetra saying you can employ Prime number and other conditioners but I accept to await 24hrs afterwards to add the Condom Start.
Ok. Mine was 20 gallons and I used the bottle size that was marked for xl gallons. (I'm not at home, so I am non sure the ounces). I had success with it.
Hmm ok, I bought the 250ml bottle which is marked for 100 gallons. I think that's probably t excessive? I tin can always get and commutation it for the smaller bottle.

You sound similar me..I'm very impatient and TSS+ was exactly what I needed. Plus its so so easy to employ. Likewise, no h2o changes, no water testing.

That'southward up to y'all. If it were me, I would. My reasoning is if yous don't use the whole bottle, you don't really know how much of the good stuff got in there to make certain your fish are condom and your tank cycles properly.

I'g non trying to be pushy..but I strongly suggest that you apply the bottle that you have, and utilise the whole bottle. Do you desire to worry if the smaller bottle was plenty, or do you want to be sure that the bigger bottle is plenty? Remeber, the fish lives are in your hands, and no matter how you bike your tank, yous must give them the best take chances for survival. And then if that bigger bottle will give them a ameliorate take chances of surviving the cycle..there should exist no question on whether y'all should utilize information technology.

Aye I might every bit well since I accept it. Would it take any negative effect though? The bottle is for 300 litres my tank is only 100L

No negative effects at all. I used a big canteen on a 5 gallon tank, without any problems. Aye...I used the whole bottle.

No negative effects at all. I used a large canteen on a 5 gallon tank, without whatever bug. Yes...I used the whole canteen.
I guess I'll give a shot and then

I agree. Use the whole big bottle. I would exercise a fishless bicycle if yous cull to employ TSS. Wait 24 hours later dosing Prime then dose the TSS. Wait 14 days, and your tank should be cycled. You cannot dose Prime when cycling with TSS until the 7th mean solar day.

Hullo, then here'southward an update on everything. I added the Tetra Safe Start. I've tested the water after about 30 mins using a liquid test kit. The results came out to either 0 or 0.ane (the colours look quite close). I'll examination it again later on.

I used Safestart to cycle my 29 gallon, it depends on how large the bottle is. Mine took exactly two weeks to complete the cycle. What fish did you add together?

Totally up to you, but keep in mind if y'all test the water while cycling with TSS+, y'all may become some wacky results which could crusade you lot to worry nigh the fish and the cycling procedure. Keep an centre on how the fish is acting and you should exist good.
