I put the initial dose of Natural Rapport in my tank the day it arrived and so far so good.It's been almost a week, and the first thing I noticed was the debris that had been caught in my dwarf hair grass was slowly disappearing. That was maybe three days into it. Now it's completely clear! I also was fighting off some slimy fuzz on my Vesuvius, and it is almost completely gone. Yay!It was great timing for me to find this product as I just bought a bunch of new plants, and I'm very happy to say they are handling their new environment very well. They all look crisp and healthy with minimal shock to older leaves(as I usually experience between shipping and transplanting), and I'm sure that the beneficial bacteria in the Natural Rapport is helping very much.Thanks again for the personal attention.Sincerely,Donica TibbettsP.S. Something I would say to all the negative comments about fish dying etc that I've seen; adding beneficial bacteria to your tank is in no way a replacement to regular scheduled water changes and tank maintenance. In addition, if your tank isn't properly cycled, or it's out of whack due to neglect, if you just go and drop a bunch of bacteria in there it's going to shock the system. Aquarists need to remember that even a small dip or raise in PH can shock or kill fish, and shock can compromise their immune system, leading to any number of infections. Your fish can even become accustomed to poor water quality.I would recommend adding your first dose right after, or with a major water change to prevent any major shifts in the cycle, in addition to a water conditioner with a slime coat protectant to help reduce shock.Adding beneficial bacteria is not dangerous, or harmful, but when you make any sort of change in your aquarium environment you are upsetting the balance in the water column whether in the negative or positive. Aquarists should know this and simply handle any aquarium supplements appropriately and with good aquarium-keeping sense.
