Dr. Tim answers your questions! Timestamps: 00:00 Start 1:15- 1"Is it better to add Waste Away to a reef setup once a week,or better to split and dose half twice a week? How long do I need to turn off the skimmer?  5:39-2 How to use Waste-Away and Re-Fresh on my 24 gallon tank. 7:32- 3 "I will be completing the cycle soon, but won't be able to get fish for another 2 weeks, do I continue to dose 2ppm ammonia and how often?" 8:49- 4 "Is it normal for the pH be low during fishless cycling?" 12:01- 5 54g tank on a fishless cycle with high nitrites and nitrates. 16:17-6 ReFresh and sea cucumbers. 17:31-7 "Do I need to remove the floss when cycling?" 18:01-8 "I treated my "milky" tank 24 hours ago with Clear Up, but there has been no change. Can you advise?" 21:43- 9 Fishless cycle and when to use a water conditioner.  23:12-10 "I just received a fishless cycle kit and it was really warm when I got it. Is it still ok?" 27:14- 11 I’m going to use your products to fight Dino, but I’m confused about the waste away and refresh product, there is two versions of them which you recommend? 30:33- 12  I’m on day 5 of a fishless cycle and was wondering if it would interrupt cycle if I added a small amount of dry rock to the tank at this point? 31:13- 13 A 3 week old, 210g tank, with cichlids and nitrites is about 1.0. Is your product still at work getting those nitrites converted into nitrates? 32:52- 14 "Am I able to use the one and only bacteria and nutri seawater?" 34:04- 15  Spike in numbers on Day 10 after adding live sand. Should I do a water change? 36:09- 16 Fishless cycle, with Dr.Tim's ammonia and nitrifying bacteria. After a few days my ammonia is 0 and I am not seeing any nitrates or nitrites. Am I supposed to dose with more ammonia or for nitrites to show up? I have a planted tank with gravel at the bottom. Very hard water, relatively alkaline. I've kept the temperature over 80."
