Oase AquaActiv BioKick Premium 4 x 20ml
Ive generally no faith in any of these products, but what struck me about these is 1. Price (1 20 ml ampoule treats 10,000 litres) Meaning for me 4 treatments for 15 notes. 2. It states the amount of bacteria (more than 50 billion per ml) 3. Proper sealed ampoules. As ive finally achieved zero nitrite, this is just for a help along maintenance dose....

Thanks for the link Spongebob, might give it a go.
I've been thinking about whether to buy a product or go for fishless cycling with my quarantine/grow on set up, that I'm currently putting together.
Be interested to hear if anyone else on here has tried it.

I've written about my Oase Biokick Premium experience several times recently, and posted up my filter boost comparison tables that show how much more bang for your buck you get from Biokick:

Please note their term " medical " glass is just borosilicate glass aka " pyrex" it just means you can heat it up, but dont or its dead. Nice colour nearly like kryptonite to.
I love the blurb so much I think I need this stuff to sit on my shelf between my Envirex, my pond bombs, my filter gel, my Aldi bicarb and my recycled Drumshanbo gunpowder gin bottle full of the superb and highly effective@Manky Sanke ST potion. Which has people ask why I've a gin bottle hidden in my pumphouse ....
They've even got an ampoule opener brilliant.
Click- its being grabbed by some amazon robot by now!

hehe it’s on the way! 2 packets that I don’t believe will do anything, but it’s those ampoules and that Kryptonite. I was thinking the other day, K1 supposedly takes ages to mature, but I’m into zero nitrite after 10 weeks, and over those 10 weeks I’ve added a fair few potions and bombs so maybe there’s something in it . It’s funny the EA gunge comes in a great big tub, alls the kryptonite needs is a little ampoule, I’m going for quality over quantity...

I've just checked my amazon account
10 pond bombs and 2x2.5 l of EA gel.
£200.00 ish. Quite a nice fish somewhere!
I've still got 2 bombs on the shelf, if you're short.
2 tubs of Envirex 30 quid.
So £230.
That equates to 7.5 bottles of good Irish gin.
Luckily for my health the fish take priority.

Not the best start, defo glass as I dropped the first ampoule on the floor! . Then such a small amount of kryptonite going in seems like it cant possibly have any effect

More unconvinced than ever on this type of product now. Perhaps not a scientific test but i deliberately overfed to engineer a small nitrite spike (only a trace) added the product gradually (2 x ampoules over 4 days) didn't make any difference. The worst thing is the tiny amounts, at least with the EA stuff and pond balls there's a visual placebo!
