Oh what a debated topic

IMO only thing that will help mature your tank is time...

I will be adding to packages of this to my 95 gallon tank today. From what I heard from someone at a LFS, the following 2 days he added yellow tang to his tank and it was fine. I wouldnt go to that extreme. But I do think it may boost the cyce of your tank.

Let me put it this way - anything in this world that sounds too good to be true usually is.

There is a good thread about this already going on - and it is a heated debate.

Nothing ages/cycles a tank better than time! Why risk it? Just take your time and let it cycle on it's own. For every tank that stuff does work for, i'm sure there are plenty of them that it didn't!
