Order from Vitacost.com. They ship with a cold pack. Watch your mail for when it arrives so it doesn't sit there.

Actually, the "mnfctr" does not recommend faster changes than are necessary. Try calling them or emailing them. I have a 1-person household, so I called them about this very issue. As someone else here said (and confirmed by Culligan Technical Support when I asked) bacteria will grow in a warm moist environment, so 4 months is an outside limit ... for your own safety.

I believe it says that to give the conditioner a chance to get rid of the chlorine before introducing the bacteria colonies in safe start. Otherwise the chlorine would render it useless. 20 hours should be plenty of time I would imagine.

Stress, dietary indiscretions, really anything that causes inflammation kills good gut bacteria. it also has a life cycle in your gut and as it proliferates it also sloughs the old. So you need a high number of bacteria. Heavy duty probiotics such as 'vsl' brand have an insanely high number of bacteria. twice the amount than in colon care. That one is for use by people with ulcerative colitis and severe IBD. So yes these numbers are very meaningful. but also the types of bacteria chosen for colon care are synergistic or symbiotic. Many people have a good base of good bacteria residing and some people can't seem to develop a good thriving base of gut flora and have to replenish constantly. I am that person. I wasnt nursed as a child and was delivered cesarian. So my gut flors was nil. I appreciated the kind of bacteria present in this product and the high number of them.

I would be very cautious about doing it that way. You are paying for the microbes, no sense taking a chance on killing them. It would be much better to just leave water standing a day or so, preferably in a very warm place - full sun is best - to make sure the chlorine evaporates.

It's needed for healty growth and distributions bacteria in the tank. It should got in the top media basket

I have no idea, the company sends you a list of how to's before the the product arrives. I am sure it will do the job though, because it eats the bacteria according to the directions.

Also add raw carrots for food. They don't live very long, especially if they get too hot. Many arrive already dead. They only live a few weeks anyway. I do not recommend buying 1,000 at a time. The seller refunded most of my money without any problem. I live in Texas, so the hot weather had a lot to do with it, I'm sure.

Hi Dino B. Thank you for asking! These are supposed to come to you alive. It is possible that a couple could be dead here and there, depending on the weather during shipment and how long they have been on the seller's shelf or in cooling. As to the customer service, that depends on the seller. Here at Dooya Dubia, we want our customers, and their herps, to be completely satisfied. If you aren't satisfied, we haven't done our job properly. Please read our shipping and returns policies before ordering live insects from us, as we do request that our customers provide us with certain information when ordering such as the temps in your area and whether a Hold for Pickup is necessary. We do our best to make sure that your insects arrive alive. If the temps in your area are above 80 degrees, we include an ice pack so that we may try to maintain our Live Arrival Guarantee. When ordering during temps over 90 degrees, we cannot guarantee live arrival even with an ice pack and require that the package be held for pickup at your local post office. It's just too hot for the insects. We do our best to try to work with our customers, though. Likewise, when ordering during cold whether, with temps under 40 degrees, a heat pack is required. If temps are just too hot or too cold we don't ship until the weather gets better. I hope that this answers your question. If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask!

When you clean the Bio-rings "only clean half of them" at once. That will leave the good Bacteria on them to build back up.

Can't help on thermometers/activators (I haven't felt the need for those). You might consider getting some kind of compost pail for your kitchen to collect material you'll eventually transfer to composter. I got a neat little stainless pail, nice enough for countertop, but keep in cabinet under sink. Size should match your expected material amounts. Mine is full enough to take out every 2-3 days. I compost only vegetable material (nothing animal, including egg shells) and with its double filter system, it doesn't smell. Watch amount/proportion of yard waste (brown to green). Composter insides are not large so it can fill up quickly if you put lots of bulky dry leaves, grass clippings, etc. Can't help on thermometers/activators (I haven't felt the need for those).

depends on the seller. ive begun a list for myself so I know who to buy from and who not to. even though klaire labs states in the insert that it can go without being refrigerated, that it just decreases the strength after 3 months --i still dont want to take the chance bc who knows how long it sits on the shelf before being shipped out. PLUS so expensive why take the chance! (ALWAYS TEST PROBIOTICS WHEN THEY COME. GOOGLE HOW TO TEST PROBIOTICS. THE FIRST LINK IS THE ONE I USE WITH SUCCESS) ---sellers I wont buy from are "happy,smart,&cute" and "SHOPnSEND" --they do not shop with any cold pack or ice.i contacted happy and they said its fine and sent copy of klaire labs insert. they could not have been a nicer company to work with BUT I stopped buying from those two (even though product was alive) I only purchase from places that care more for the quality. sellers that DO ship with ice every time and ive had GREAT success with is "bon vivant essentials"---they sell on here quite frequently and seem to be the cheapest so I normally hold out for when they are selling on here with klaire labs bc I know they send with ice hope this helps. will try to update as my list grows. also know you can return if no ice and if test dead!

Talked to Kenny over the phone. The reason is due to low temperature. The plates were incubated at room temperature around 68 F, which is too low. Advise him to place the agar plates in a make-shift incubator. Within 24 hrs, he told us that he saw colonies of bacteria.Customer Support EZ BioResearch LLC

The "C" nodes are like a blank canvas, they have nothing. You need a bacteria to cling on them the gest one is sold in Amazon, called Dr.Tims one and only. If this your first fish tani, I would buy the filter, heater, and tank and a APi master tedt kit. Test your water every day...I would not buy a single fish until your water is tested....t0when I was first started i new nothing, you learn from error, but the main error people do is they buy angels and all sorts of fish..they will die...lplease heed my advice. Buy the prerequisites first...yes this is an expensive hobby.good luck

The one I got from Amazon can determine presence of bacteria but will not provide findings of what type of bacteria is present or not. It will only give you a positive or a negative test for the presence of bacteria in your well water. When the test water turns purple in color (negative bacteria detected) and when it turns yellow (positive, highly likely that potentially harmful bacteria were detected). I hope this answered your question.

More media depending on your needs. I've loaded mine with lava rock which promotes 2 types of beneficial bacteria. Anaerobic and aerobic bacteria.
