Page 1 - Introduction
Well
folks, I have learned a bunch of new stuff.
And I have approached it cautiously, and I have
interviewed most of the experts on the subject.
(And I am not talking about Internet pundits
who don't have fish of their own.) I replicated
my bench tests in this area two times and then
took it into the field for some clinical experience
and I am glad I did, because most of the kinks
got worked out this way.
What
I have to say "distills" down to this:
What if you could start up a brand new system,
pond, quarantine or facility and have NO BREAK
IN period?
Well,
you can.
There
is a beneficial-bacterial adjuvant which works
over and over, in almost any system. But there
are "gotchas" you should be aware
of.
I
tested several promising new "nitrifying"
products over the last year, and the situation
that kept recurring was that I had
to accumulate a high ammonia and nitrite level
before the products I was testing could live
and work. This means the fish have to experience
the stress of poor water quality before the
products could benefit them. Also, many of the
products I tested would give variable results,
and some took over three weeks to eliminate
nitrogen accumulations. Not acceptable. Fish
die in that time.
You
have to admit that cutting the cycle-time in
half is still pretty good, but I was really
waiting for something that would give ZERO nitrogen
accumulation from start to end. NO 'BREAK IN'
spikes.
For
those too busy to read the whole thing: "Fritz
Industries, TurboStart.
It works."
