Bio load and septic tank bacteria
My tank was doing awesome with my livestock. All water parameters were ZERO. Now that I have my little fatso porky my ammonia is spiking just a little bit. I have read that people used septobac to drop these level naturally.
I have a different product for my septic system called Super Septic. It is made here in Alberta. It is supposed to be 100% non toxic with no chemicals of any kind. I tried phoning the seller but there is no answer. I also googled to see if I could find any data sheets on the product. I wanted to put a tiny amount in my sump to speed things along. I saw a seller on the forums selling a product that appears to be the same thing, so I am wondering if I am on the right track. Anybody know about this?

Using a septic chemical in the aquarium scares me - but what do I know? I'll just bump it and maybe someone else will know.

where did you buy super septic? I've been looking for something good for my septic system. Have you tried it?
Back on topic, I wouldn't put it in my aquarium. If you have any of Seachem's "Prime" it converts ammonia into something less toxic and IS rated for use in aquariums.

That is what planted the seed about my septic tank bacteria since it is essentially the same thing. NO chemicals just bacteria. I just wondered if anyone else knew anymore about it.

I bought it at the Moose mountain hardware store in Bragg Creek. It is $12 for a little tub. It kicks butt for my septic system for sure. My septic guy said never bother with the sept-bac stuff from the grocery stores. It is all natural bacteria and comes in a very fine powder unlike the septo-bac which appears to have metals and such in it. When you put it into water it dissolves instantly. The company is in Cochrane.

It just started running, and I hardly have any livestock at all. It has been running for a month without anything in it and was fine for the last week. The ammonia went from 0 to .50 since the puffer came home. I will be adding a 55g refugium tonight so I will be adding a lot of water on top of the 70g sump.
