Here is the exact product I used in the video- amzn.to/3zcMLmN

Thank you for watching! Have a great day:)
Can you try vinegar vs bacteria?
Would have been nice to tell us if there are sufficient bacteria of the correct type to even be effective in these products. The consensus is these do nothing.
I actually asked you to cover nitrifying bacteria in a previous video, so thank you for covering the only request I ever made for this channel!
I've used both api quick start as well as seachem stability during some different ammonia spikes and this sort of confirms to me what I knew from the start, that seachem waters down their product..
You have to use much higher dosages to receive the same result, check the dosage for api vs seachem, it's simple math which is the best bang for your buck. I'm curious what the biological concentration seachem stability has, it's the best bacteria I've ever bought, one bottle lasts forever, check out the dosages!
There's a claim with seachem that I've been unable to verify, they say on their help page for their products that they've somehow created a new proprietary bacteria that can be signalled to enter it's dormant phase oncommand, which is pretty huge if the claim is true, companies have tried and failed to do that...
The dormant phase this bacteria is in means a bottle of stability doesn't expire like quick start, they somehow sell it for cheaper than API as well.
I really wish I could see what this dormant phase looks like, no one has uploaded any images of it, I'd be extremely pleased to see a timelapse or video of the bacteria exiting this dormant phase, they say that it exits this phase on it's own when you add it to the tank, it exits this state at lower concentrations because the bottle is too concentrated and contains none of the conditions the bacteria needs to survive.
I'd be very happy if you cover this product, it and seachem clarity are very mysterious, I asked the company to explain the product more in depth but got a reply that they cannot due to legal reasons.
If you have a PO box I'm more than happy to get in touch and free of charge to send you multiple samples of my tank water from different areas of tank, and a sample of the two seachem bacterias they sell.
I have different PPI sponge filters and when I clean these the dirty water is extremely concentrated, that'd probably be the best chance of a good sample.
Do hibiclens!!!!!! And try hebiclens after days too, it is supposed to continue killing for days!
As an aquarist, this really was very interesting to see! Thank you for posting.
It would be really cool if you could post comparisons on other aquarium bacteria products!
Thank you for your videos! Love em.
Might you be interested in buying this bottle of pure air as well, dear sir?
Awesome! I've always wanted to know if there really was bacteria in there.
It'd be pretty cool to see active filter media of an aquarium under a microscope, like a sample of K1 media from an established tank
Buy a toy microscope. That's all you need. They're not that small. You'll see some really monstrous stuff.
I’m an RN and avid aquarist and love seeing this!!!
Your videos are a constant source of intrigue and entertainment. Thanks!
This is more like a colony. Interesting. Thank you for your work.
Woohooo the Nitrogen cycle! Great video as always.
I'd like to see, under a microscope, the different phases of the wine-making process. Thank U for your cooolness!! 👍
I was looking after a Sewerage plant for 6 months on a Great Barrier Reef Island Resort.
I got thrown into the job with some chemical target points to reach. About 2 months later a Qualified Treatment Plant Operator arrived onsite and taught me that it was a biological process and not a chemical process.
We took a couple of Mixed Liquor samples, went to the University on the island and borrowed a microscope. Old mate saw what he needed after 10 minutes, explained the different types of creatures, their ages and life cycles, the basic elements of what I was looking at, and was ready to leave,
I sat there for another 3 hours watching the different creatures eat, live, interact, and just generally thrive. It still amazes me to this day.
i don’t have an aquarium but i have lots of picky plants that don’t like tap water and i came across a video & a guy saying he uses this for his plants so i bought it and wanted to know how it works! Thank you for posting - i hope this helps other people to know it can be used for plants as well
How about Seachem stability? I wanna see what im buying lol😅
I'm wondering the same thing! Please test Seachem Stability next!!
Came here for the same comment. People swear by stability over API. I would love to see that product too.
@@joelio1616 I worked with a professional aquarium cleaning business and the owner didn't use anything over seachem products. He used it in his entire aquarium shop.
awesome!!! so that's what it looks like. I was using API Quick Start for a while (but now using Seachem Stability). Thank you for this! :D
There's plants that do the exact same thing I wish I knew when we had fish instead of having to change the water every week but didn't know you could buy it in a bottle, thx for showing.
A healthy cycled tank will benefit from both :) if your tank is cycled and is large enough to support your stocking of fish, water changes should hopefully only have to be every two weeks at the most frequent. If you don't have plants, bacteria will do the job just fine, but plants do help a lot. Plants will GREATLY prefer to convert ammonia to nitrates when given a choice, while bacteria will convert nitrites, thus keeping a balance.
@@snakewithapen5489 I saw it in one of Brian Barczyk's tours of a place that was breeding fish or coral, just don't remember the name of the plant they used as their filtration system and had never seen it before which is why I remember it.
@@snakewithapen5489 you don't need to add bacteria ever. It will be in the tank. If you have ammonia or nitrites they will thrive, don't need to add more.
How long after adding Quickstart to your aquarium, can you add your fish? It doesn’t say that in the instructions.
Love this channel!
Thank you :) ❤️
As someone who worked in pet stores and a fish specialty store this is really cool to see exactly what this does. I also hand a degree in biology so your videos are already wonderfully appealing to my nerdy side.
As a biologist, would you say this product is necessary at all?
@@globalist1990 In our world while taking care of fish? Yes. In the wild the fish wouldn't need this. However, in the finite, small space of a fish tank? Yes. Not for everyday or every tank change, but definitely if you're seeing your water showing the fish are more stressed(indicating a possible sickness) or if they're showing obvious signs of a tank illness then definitely.
@@rebeccatexaschick7621 i don't believe you are a biologist. These bacteria are everywhere. You don't need to buy them in a bottle. Otherwise anyone keeping fish would have them dying with ammonia poisoning.
We want you to try methylene blue on microbes
Drink that your health done up up up! 😂
This product works I've used it but the true first cycle of an aquarium requires patience if you don't have patience, avoid aquariums 🥂
Aquarium products like these are helpful, yes, but I personally find that a clogged up piece of filter media helps get the cycle start faster.
It takes less days for ammonia to convert to nitrite and nitrate with it than pre-mixed bacteria, at least, in comparison with the products in my country.
Do seachem stability! So we can compare please
Thank you everytime ❤❤❤
Ayye!!! And my girlfriend says I don't have any good ideas. Thanks for checking it out!
Idk about api stuff, but seachem stability is sold as bacterial spores suspended in liquid. Maybe api is spores as well. Why we don’t see movement.
Great video! I love your videos. Could you do probiotic GoLive? I would like to know if their claims are true. Thanks again for another informative video.
As a fish nerd I thank you sir. I've heard pretty much 50/50 advice that these products do nothing, or do actually help. So it's cool to see that there is actually something alive in there! 😅
It's like this: they do something that you don't need. You will always get these bacteria any way in your water, unless you live in a 100% sterile environment. Fish you bring in carry these already on them even if just eggs. If you didn't have these bacteria in your tank your fish would be dead from ammonia poisoning.

Are you a biologist? Or is this something you do as a hobby? You know so much, and I love your channel. Sorry if this has been asked before.
Most APIs deliver data. This API delivers Life.
Should do Prime & sink water straight from the sink to see how it cleans the water 😊
This might explain why so many goldfish in tiny bowls die so quickly in just water. 🙁
yup. Goldfish produce extremely high levels of ammonia, and bowls don't give them nearly enough water to cycle, especially when they don't even have a filter for the bacteria to live in. Bowls are fish gas chambers, basically
I love ur vdo , do u have TUBERCULOSIS Bacteria specimen it's intresting ..
Sorry I hope it’s not gross but can you do mucus from the nose and or spit. Just curious if there’s any bacteria in it.
Thats so cool!
Dude, I know anyway you could do this would be disgusting, but… it would be so cool to see the human gut microbiome under the microscope.
Can you do mushroom spores?
Wow it actually has bacteria in it! I have always felt those where snake oil. Although I will say I have never seen any benefit from using them. We set up a 10 gallon tank with a hang on filter. Added ammonia and tested the water for 3 days. No change in ammonia after 3 days, and nitrite developed. Same tank same filter after cleaning everything I changed the filter media from one of my fully cycled tanks. 3 hours later the ammonia level had dropped nitrite was detectable then nitrate. Showing the cycling of the tank was occurring. My only conclusion was maybe the bottle did not have Nitrous ammonius or nitrous backer. Thank you for doing this video.
Ive got a BIG freshwater tank with roughly 30 fish in it.
I am a big fan of Fluval brand,or Seachem brand Stability.
Stability has aerobic,anaerobic and facultative bacteria in it.A good substrate of at least 3 to 4 inches gives a good bed for the bacteria.And yes,some bacteria is on the plants and such as well,but your substrate is the key..The Ammonia, nitrite and nitrates are changed at different layers (depths) of the substrate.Thin substrate is risking it.
As far as API products go,I have no use for them.
The ONLY thing they make that I use is their test kits.
But Seachem has helped me when an unexpected ammonia spike strikes...which happened only once in almost 2 years,and it just started to register in the test,and I was on it.
Buying these bottles is like buying bottles with air for you to be able breathe. These bacteria are everywhere. Without them, aquarium fish would die from ammonia poisoning. If anything, this speeds up the process for like half a day (bacteria reproduce really fast).
@@globalist1990personally I prefer filter gunk as a bacteria catalyst
Was this within the expiry date? Because from what I can see, it’s a mass of dead cell debris with occasional live cells here and there. Not worth the money. Go to a local pond and grab a shot glass of starter material.
Ooh what if you mixed things from different sources to see which microbes won?
Thanks for doing the video 👍
Are these live bac or attenuated?
Did you already try probiotics under microscope?
Also how probiotics mixed with yoghurt in room temperature?
Thank you for this now i trust api
Why don’t we industrially produce nitrate salts like that, way better than the Haber-Bosch process ngl
Wtf are you talking about, the Haber Bosch process produces NH3 not KNO3 or NaNO3 ?
Silly me
This bacteria is what keeps water from rotting
Are the fast moving bois also rod shaped bacteria?
Can you do Fritzzyme Trubostart 900? 😊
You know I have been fish keeping since 2015, and in the beginning of my hobby I read how you NEED to use this in your tank but I never could find it in the pet shops I was in.... I look at this video and from all the hype I read ( or maybe I created in my mind.... I dunno) this seemed like.... well I was expecting something more impressive....
Great video! Thank you for clearing the shroud of mystery for me!
You don't "need" to use this, that's another myth made to sell more product, like needing to replace your filter every month. Products like this really do help kickstart your tank! but aquatic succession will happen on its own. If you use any live plants from a petstore, they will carry microbic hitchhikers. Cycling can be done without products like this, although these do make it go faster ^^
Thanks for this video so cool
It would be nice if when you showed things that are supposed to kill bacteria you showed the water that you dilute it with being added first to show that it doesn't have any affect on the bacteria. A control, in other words. It's not as convincing if you do not have a control to show along with it, scientifically.
Fish.
Any good for a septic tank?
Wow!
Can you do API stress Zyme? It says it contains live bacteria
Bottle filled with tap water, with screw lid closed - wildlife starts growing
Vs
Supermarket bottle mineral water doesn't grow wildlife
Any ideas?
Mineral content. Radiation. Electric charge.
Well, if it's sold for consumption then it would need to go through teasting before being sold.
Any organisms found in commercially sold bottled mineral water is a big no-no, you don't want to risk getting lawsuits from sick customers do you?
can you test P & G Purifier of Water?
See what bacteria you can find on the human body, mouth, armpit, feet, belly-button, etc.
Nitrosomonas and nitrococcus NCERT CLASS 11th
Output of this nitro cycle, can aquarium plants consume it like fertilizer?
yes! the nitrogen cycle provides nutrients for aquatic plants to grow, in turn they produce oxygen for your fish.
weird question but could you possibly look at denitrifying bacteria? I use some media from the pond guru (bio home) and it seems to be lowering nitrates well but since denitrifying bacteria is anerobic it would be kinda hard to look at them?
Nice anerobic question hope he sees
How dangerous are those bacteria if in theory a person drank it?
Not dangerous at all. "Bacteria" covers a very broad range of things. Most don't attack the human body.
Correct me if I'm wrong. Eventually it converts it to oxygen right?
Depends on the types of bacteria in a tank, generally, the nitrates are expelled through water changes or absorbed by plants.
Can this be use even theres fish in the aquarium?
USED! Illiterate murican
You’re better off using Platys(Platies?) to get your nitrogen cycle going on a new tank. They’re cheaper than a bottle of this and they are extremely hardy fish and will most likely survive a new tank’s first cycle.
You need plants to eat the ammonia if it isn't "cycled" yet. Why platies? And you don't need these bottles as these bacteria are everywhere. You'd have a harder time not getting them in the tank than otherwise.
I'd rather not submit my fish to potential ammonia poisoning, but to each their own, I suppose.
make a video on cow dung bacteria
which is mostly used for natural organic fertilizer which is a compost cow dung.
comparision video between cow dung fresh and cow dung compost will be a added credit
Ever heard of the word please?
It looks like the product is a scam, imo. But how could you expect the bacteria to survive sold like that?
WRONG
Im so bad at using a microscope even when hes using a microscope it looks better then when i use my microscope is better then mine (which is 275$)
Guess what? Quick start is crap! I cycle my tanks with ammonia, heat and a bit of filter debris. I can cycle a tank in 6 days. The fish are SAFE! Unlike API.
444 like 🎉❤😂
No. This won't help you crank over that diesel on cold mornings
1) There's no proof you're looking at (showing) nitrifying bacteria. 2) I've had fish tanks myself. You literally must filter and change the water. The nitrogen cycle cannot be maintained because a tank is a closed (stagnant) system.
These bacteria convert ammonia and nitrites into less harmful nitrates. If you have a source of ammonia (fish poop) these bacteria will thrive. A filter is where you will have most of these bacteria. Water change is to balance the nitrates out if your new water has less nitrates. Or you can introduce an agent that eats nitrates: plants. If you keep adding and/or trimming plants, they will use the nitrates to create plant matter.
So if you need to add food for your fish, you need to take plant matter out with regular clippings so they are always growing. Some fish eat certain plants and or algae. The less you have to feed: a more stable system.
As a fellow fishkeeper, I do not mean malice nor ill-intentions, but I must say some things.
The whole reason we use filters is because we need to cultivate said nitrifying bacteria.
If don't have them then the ammonia or ammonium (tank dependant) wouldn't even be able to effectively convert those compounds(correct term?) further into nitrite or nitrate.
Really, the main reason we do water changes is because most tanks don't have the specific species of bacteria that processes nitrate into oxygen or nitrogen, or do a nitrate loop. Hence why the ever-expanding attempts by aquarists in reducing water changes via plants, anaerobic bacteria, plenums, refugiums, etc.
I suppose the term "cycle" is a bit misleading, it's more of a chain, with human intervention near the end of the chain to repeat it perpetually.
Less unhealthy nitrite… isn’t nitrite even worse than ammonia? Like carcinogenic? also nitrate is an oxidizer but I guess that’s still better than the basicity of ammonia I presume?
basicity meaning pOH?
@@GodlyNoghri yeah basically alkalinity. since nh3 is a weak base
@@patrickyu8470 yeah, so 1/pH = pOH ... thought that's what you meant, but not having done much with aquariums since child hood or bothering to research it atm, I'm curious to be spoon-fed the answers to your questions... preferably in medium-format, with citations people! >=P
@@GodlyNoghri well close but not quite yet - pH+pOH=14. So they are inverses but additive inverses, not multiplicative inverses. But honestly most ppl at this point just use pH>7 to determine something is a base, pOH isnt really used as much from what I can tell.
nitrite is more deadly in lower concentrations, and is more of a silent killer. However ammonia builds up much easier and shows obvious signs of distress in your fish, like gill burns and gasping and a bad smell.
Nitrate is actually good for a tank, in concentrations lower than 20ppm, because aquatic plants need it to grow.
can it expire i ahd this bottle for almost 2 years in my basement or only 1 idrk but i got new fish so i wanna know
