Rob Butler, The Fish Store, Seattle, WARose, the manager of Trio Pet Shop, used StartSmart Freshwater in a 20 gallon feeder tank with twenty, one-inch goldfish in it. Prior to StartSmart use, ammonia was near toxic level (more than 1 ppm), and had been at that level for weeks despite water changes and use of competing bacterial products. However, within 24 hours of StartSmart addition, the ammonia level was at 0, nitrites were at 0 and nitrates were around 15 ppm, showing a dramatic conversion of toxic ammonia into non-toxic nitrate. Two days later the nitrates were negligible. Rose said the fish are doing great, and that this was the fastest she has ever experienced in cycling a tank.
