[AquaticLife] Tetra safestart to begin sales in U.S.
Dora,
You keep missing the point.
Just having nitrospira is not sufficient so I’m not sure why you are so hung up on nitrospira.
That is what was wrong for so many years with bacteria-in-a-bottle products…. they had the wrong bacteria, not all of the bacteria needed or it was dead bacteria.
Dr. Tim Hovanec is one of the leading scientists in the field of nitrifying bacteria and Bio-Spira (his invention) had three different nitrifying bacteria in it which is why it worked… it had nitrosomonas, nitrospira and nitrosospira. I’m sure they didn’t release this information until after they had the patent on Bio-Spira.
He probably can’t say what’s in his new One & Only due to a likely new patent pending process that is going on if indeed the new product does not have to stay refrigerated (once he gets the patent, then he can release the components of the product as it will have patent protection) and also because of likely litigation going on between him, Marineland and Tetra but I would bet my first born child that Dr. Tim’s products are FAR SUPERIOR to anything made by Tetra. Heck, with her being such a spoiled brat lately, I might not mind losing that bet right now! Anyone want to put up a nickel against her? 
There are literally thousands and thousands of perfectly good products that will not disclose all of the ingredients in them while they are awaiting patent protection. I bet you have dozens of them around your home right now. Even the MSDS’ required on household products in the USA will often have “proprietary” listed in their ingredients section but the MSDS only requires them to disclose any harmful compounds so the nitrifying bacteria would not have to be listed anyhow.
