Timestamps: 00:00 Start 1:52 - 1 - How much Only and Only would I need to get for a 100 gallon indoor stock tank with 8, 5 inch koi? How much product do I use for periodic water changes? Also, If I had to do a complete water change would that be like starting over and using the initial startup amount? 10:05 - 2 - Do the biopellets need to be seeded with Waste-Away or Refresh? At what point during the algae removing recipe should I put the biopellet reactor online? 11:50 - 3 - Is it possible to put refresh, waste away and eco balance on an automatic doser with magnetic stirrers to mix it up prior to dosing? 15:51 - 4 - Cycling a 220g reef tank with rock and sand. I'm on day 6, do I add more ammonia? 24:47 - 5 - What is the difference between the freshwater and the pond/koi one and only? 25:54 - 6 - Fishless cycling a 20g tank. Should I do a water change if my ammonia is still high? 32:26 - 7 - Which of your products do you recommend to help lower nitrate? 36:23 - 8 - Can Ecobalance be used on a dosing pump splitting the dose daily? 39:02 - 9 - Is the one and only product good for just start ups or is it also good for just maintaining a tank? 43:15 - 10 - Does wrapping the tank in black plastic, with the goal of "preventing ANY lights" from getting into the tank include turning off my refugium light and wrapping it in plastic also?
