I transferred my betta from a bowl to a 5 gallon tank, and needless to say, I was anxious to get him into his new spacious tank ASAP. This product allowed me to do that after just one 12 hour period with the filter running and the SafeStart added (not sure even that was necessary). My betta has been happy, active and blubble-nesting away in his new environment from day one thanks to this product!
I got this after I set up a new 2gal aquarium (under gravel filter, aerator and heater...cost more than the fish, but worth it!) and had never heard of cycling (please Google aquarium cycling or nitrogen cycle, too long to explain here). After testing I found very high nitrites >5ppm and no nitrates (very bad). I called Tetra and they told me to change 25% of the water and put in 1 teaspoon into the new water (mix with the new 25% water before putting in the tank, also add dechlorinator and can add aquarium salt not table salt). By the following week when I tested again nitrites were 0 and nitrates were 0-5ppm (desirable readings). I highly recommend this product. Note: shake extremely well and refrigerate after opening.
