There's a book?? Now you tell me!!

Seriously people, there was no bashing here, certainly nothing to close a thread about. There is generally a right(ish) way to do things, and that was all that was offered. If something different works for someone, well, that's awesome!
But, as Myka says, many people need to follow the "rules" when starting out, so clarifying what those are may help new people that get confused by the more experienced variants of any given method.

Now this is turning good. See different views and ideas, not just bashing, this is good, we need more of this.

These are the types of threads I like reading and would be more than happy to post to. thanks to all that have posted their great thoughts and ideas.

We can all have our different views, but we still need to get along. Thanks all...

Sweet look a good descusion on the subject

Ameekplec makes a great point. I never thought of it that way. I guess I was only thinking of when you agitate the reactor and when you add the Bac. so when the Bac was free floating in the water.
