Hiatt system - 24 hr tank cycle?

Is this for the birds or what?

Any thoughts or customers care to comment?

Can it be added to an existing tank and "replace" the bacteria with "better" ones?

Nitrosoma and Nitrobacter, no replacements or better quality, bacteria is simply that, bacteria.

Now you can add bottled bacteria to enhance the biobed if not fully developed. It is often recommended to help kick start a cycle.
