[AquaticLife] Tetra safestart to begin sales in U.S.
List owner, I am asking your permission to cross post messages from this group.
You know what, I had a darned hard time finding how to actually order that one and only”, when I decided I don’t want it. The inventor doesn’t sell t on his web site, but refers people to a single web site, which lists it ut provides no way to order it. And I don’t find much online either. ince I’ve lost interest in the product I stopped searching. Maybe one is upposed to put in hyphens to search for it for all I know. When I wrote to him, that Timothy Hovanec came across as a wack and a half. ow, rapid cycling products are based on the claim that nitrospira is teh acteria that enables rapid cycling, so in order to do the job they must ave nitrospira . Strangely his web site does not claim that the one and nly contains nitrospira. He wrote in one or two sentences that he won’t ay if the product contains nitrospira, because it’s patented. Mind, I idn’t ask for the formula, nor for the process (which is something people re debating), nor did I even ask if his bacteria are viable, which is also he point of some controversy, and his word is not what would convince me he bacteria are viable; I just want to know if the product has the only ossible ingredient that he himself has consistently claimed elsewhere will o what he claims his product does, which is nitrospira. And his e-mail to e sounded half there. If he were mentally all there, he would know that the only reason why people ould buy his new product is if it contains nitrospira, so if he wants us to uy it, he wants to tell us it contains nitrospira if it does! Telling e it contains the latest mix of nitrogen processing bacteria or whatever is uspiciously vague; why is he not telling us the product contains itrospira? Bio-spira was specifically popular because it said it ontained nitrospira, and that is the basis of Safestart’s popularity in urope. It really appears that he isn’t even mentally together enough to either sell r market the product that he’s selling. It’s also conceivable that the issue is that he himself isn’t sufficiently onfident that the nitrospira in his product is viable to commit to saying he bacteria are there. On another list people are speculating that Marineland (may not have the ight store name and wonder if indeed the name has become confused with that f the store below) may have stopped carrying both the old and new ormulations of Bio-Spira because of their relationship with Timothy Hovanec r his possible control over the patents for these products. Man may be a brillient researcher, but I get the idea he’s a wack job. Maybe he isn’t even very serious about selling this product. He knows that n another month Tetra, which has it together, will easily outcompete him. e’s sure not putting much effort into selling it, on top of seemingly not anting anyone to buy it. Here’s a photo of the man. ttp://www.drtimhovanec.com/About_Us/About_Us.html By mid May I’ll have my aquarium going even if I pre-cycle it for two weeks.. Here is the web site he sends people to to buy the product. I may have licked on one of the companies listed there, though I thought I got to it rom his own web site. http://drtimsaquatics.com/index.html Ah, yes, it eventually sends me here, and if you search the site you ventually get to http://www.qualitymarineusa.com/products.asp?cls=3&scls=8&cat=309&scat=987&id=0705310 Prices are on a pdf sheet, and no way to order nor information on how to rder. More evidence that the man is a wack job. As for Tetra, maybe it’s upgrading its quality. Actually not a bad ompany, just low end for good quality in aquarium care products. I’ve lways been satisfied with their products before. Quite brilliant picking p a product like SafeStart. LOL. I’ve ordered their inexpensive lab it; I’ll let you all know how it stacks up! I’ve dealt with enough ompanies lately that don’t for instance answer questions like the one I sked Dr. Tim with the answer; so far one thing I’ll definitely say for etra is that it has not made my shit list. And they aren’t failing to ay whether Safestart contains nitrospira! A company can say it’s as igh end as anything in the world, but if it’s not honest… Yours, ora Smith ustin, TX iggernut24@yahoo.com
