You mean those supplied by the tank maker?
I just got my tank from them. No time to go through the water solutions provided but will sure start cycling my tank soon.

Thanks for the tip! Will throw in some feeders when my ammonia and nitrite reduces a bit, I think now its quite fatal for fishes, ammonia still at 2ppm.

I added Microbe-Lift special blend, does it works the same way as fritz?

I heard from my friend that he used only bacteria solution without cycling, but every other day he dose a bit inside to counter the rising ammonia and nitrite because I think these bottled bacteria doesn't stay alive for long in the medias.

I'm using the API Freshwater Master Test Kit. My tank maker didn't provide me with any solutions tho haha. Mind sharing what they gave to you?

Previously I did a 70% water change and 2 of my cilchids died and some grasping for air, I rushed down to LFS and they recommended me the bacteria solution and after I poured 2 cups in everything back to normal so was thinking
if adding these solution can kickstart the setup and transfer the livestocks in.
