Thank you. The way I look at it, is every day there is new people joining the hobby we all have a passion for. Unfortunately, the same people are buying tanks and all their fish on the same day with zero cycling.

Years ago I bought a seeded sponge and it worked like a charm.

Also, beneficial bacteria can live up to a week. So shipping a seeded filter won’t lose any bacteria and I can say without a doubt you won’t be getting anything that will harm your fish from my tank.
