    Is there an expiration date on the bottle?

    Tony all of those bottled cycle starts are crap. Think about it, biological media needs water current, ammonia and temperatures to live, there is no way in heck you gould think any type of biological bacteria would live inside these bottles without food for more than a couple hours or so. There are some that will argue that it works, but the reality is that they do not. This is an opinionated statement though so if it does work for you and you can prove a cycle then it will prove me wrong.

    Like my old pappy said if it sounds to good to be true....... well just out of curiosity how would you prove that your tank has cycled? Put in ammonia and see if it goes down?

    by seeing the presence of nitrates you could prove that it was cycled.
