I just got some stuff to start up a new tank its called Termin-ITE biological booster it made by HBH.It reads that it accelerates new aquarium cycle time,controls ammonia& nitrite build -up.The bottle is 235ml and it has approximately 4 billion bacteria counts in it,dose rate is 2tbsp per 25 us gallons.Warning are not to over treat as it will temporaily increase bioogical oxygen demand.
Has any one use it just wanting to know when I can introduce fish Im think it might put 48 hours as it also say do use protein skimmer, uv sterilizer and ozone in this time

Hi Brad, sounds like you can use it in a marine aquarium too if they are talking about protein skimmers, which are only used with salt water.

I'm not familiar with the brand. I guess they all do something. I'd still be seeding the tank with some used filter medium from a mature tank, and watching the ammonia level carefully.
