blueheaven Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 The thing is that you have to introduce the bacteria and give them time to colonise. A surface for them to do so is also recommended. Too much of bacteria will cause them to become pathogenic (due to the quorum gene) and you do not want that Quote But if you tame me, we shall need each other. To me, you will be unique in all the world. To you, I shall be unique in all the world...

Maverick77 Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 bro whats your tank size? how many bottle did u added? mine's 4ft and i have added 2bottles, altho a lfs friend told me to add 3bottles Mine is abt 2ft by 1ft(w) by 1.5ft(ht)... I calculated that my tank size is 60+ litres. Recommended dosage is 1 bottle($17 size cos I know got another bigger bottle at$30+) to 60+ litres or something like that... So i pour half in, waited half a day then another half... Wat does pathogenic means? Btw, biggest lesson learnt is must have "house" for bacteria... that is filtration system must be sufficient for bacteria to grow... I started my first 5 days with 1 bag of coral chips the size of my palm thinking it'll mature my tank... Wat a fool... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
