00:00 Start

05:31 - 1 - How do you lower nitrates quickly besides doing a water change? 

13:16 - 2 - When I added One and Only, there was no "cloudiness". Is this ok/normal?

14:34 - 3 - My numbers stalled out on day 9 of my fishless cycle. Is this normal?

20:16 - 4 - How much One & Only do I use for these water changes?

23:22 - 5 - Accidentally added ammonia to 8ppm. Have I stalled my cycle or killed the bacteria?

24:41 - 6 - Which of your products, if any, benefit from being refrigerated for longer storage life?

25:57 - 7 - What is the approximate length of time before I’d need to add ammonium chloride to maintain the bacteria that developed during the cycling? If there is an extended delay before we can get the fish we are seeking, I don't want the aquarium to have been fallow for long enough that we lose the nitrifying bacteria.

29:36 - 8 -  Do I need to turn the skimmer on for any period of time, during the treatment for dinos? If so, how long should I run it?

31:35 - 9 - I recently used ReFresh to treat cyano and my water turned green.

35:44 - 10 - When and would you treat with waste away and then use the gel pack as maintenance? Would you use the aqua cleanse initially?
