seems like bacteria were dead upon arrival
Case of back luck but it seems bacteria were dead upon arrival - i tried dosing as per bottle instructions and there were no changes in nitrate levels over the course of 3 weeks.

It works
It's Quickstart, it's API. It's not bad at all. It does what's supposed to do. Just add it during big water changes (30%+) and you are golden. Good to buy you some time when treating ammonia too.
