seakitty Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 I have been using Imagitarium Biological Booster in my tank from the beginning and now my tank has finally cycled. Do I need to keep using it after each water change or is it just wasted money now that my tank is cycled? My tank is not a planted tank. TIA 🐟😃🐠 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkG Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 (edited) I think it is generally agreed that adding bacteria isn't needed. It is reported to speed up the process. Adding more when they have colonized seems even less necessary 🙂 Edited March 24, 2021 by darkG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lefty o Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 once the tank is cycled, and has an established colony of beneficial bacteria, you dont need to add more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seakitty Posted March 25, 2021 Author Share Posted March 25, 2021 Thank you @darkG and @lefty o. I have also been using API Stress Coat+ after each water change to protect the fish. Is this necessary as my water is well water and has no chlorine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkG Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 I view it as a way to lessen the damage if something goes terribly wrong. I have considered buying something like Stress Coat to be equipped, I personally wouldn't use it routinely (not saying it's the worst thing). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lefty o Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 stress coat is a nice thing, but it isnt strictly needed if you have no chlorine in your water source. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
