Dr Tim's, Fish oil or fact?

[T.louderback]

Does anyone have any first hand experience with Dr. tim's one and only? Ive heard a lot of good and bad about it so I'm looking for more info. Thanks!

I used it on my 450...worked as advertised. Also heard good things about Fritz cycling bacteria.

I used it on my 120. Worked as advertised.

Worked as advertised for me as well.
Instant Biospira (also developed by Dr Tim as I understand it) also worked well.

cool, did anyone need to have it refrigerated? I was hearing things about that also. And how long does it take? Thanks for the replies

Never had experience with Dr Tims one and only, but used the bio spira 2 or 3 times now and it has for for me all the time. Both refrigerated and non refrigerated.

I used bio spira too.

Definitely shortened my cycling period by like 2 weeks.

i used Dr. tim's as well when i started my 60 gallon. it worked as advertised but i don't have anything to compare it to.

Ok cool, I'm gonna go for it when I get around to setting up the tank i Just bought. All I need is a stand and rock!

I've used both Dr. Tim's and BioSpiria a few times setting up qt tanks. Between the two, Bio-Spiria was the only one that got close to "instant cycle". So if you are hoping to get fish in right away I would go for BioSpiria.

If you are using it on a tank for coral I recommend you wait a least a week after adding before adding coral - they seem to contain some kind of sticky gel that I presume helps the new bacteria stick to the walls/filters - and I imagine it would also sick on the coral surface and might kill it. This last part is my pure speculation - ymmv.

I don't mind waiting a week for a cycle lol I just want to avoid a couple months of cycling haha
