jungle products / Lenny/ for Bill
Snipped from below…
I know we talked about the Dr. Tim’s One And Only, Bio-Spira and (Tetra) Safe Start, early on, but you should be nearing completion of cycling your tank so it’s not as much of an issue any longer.
Dr. Tim’s is the only one I would strongly recommend but since Tetra bought out Marineland, they’ve supposedly re-packaged the original Bio-Spira into Tetra Safe Start.
I just haven’t been able to confirm whether Dr. Tim developed the technology to have Bio-Spira last at room temperature before he left Marineland or afterwards. I guess he has been working on the process for the past 7-8 years since the refrigeration problem was always a hurdle for Bio-Spira to catch on at retailers… so maybe Marineland jointly owned those patents as well so Tetra also has access to that technology. The original Bio-Spira product had to be kept refrigerated until used or it would go bad but the new technology gives it a six month shelf life at room temperature. Dr. Tim explains this on his FAQ page. I just don’t know if Tetra will be as diligent in reproducing the technology as Dr. Tim is.
