This seems like a good idea in theory.. not so good in execution. I feel like they are wanting to help preserve ocean life... but people that don't know what they are doing will probably end up killing more of the wildlife than saving it.

BAD Idea! For the unaware! That Tank as well as any "New" Tank needs to cycle!

Doesn't look good for the Livestock :( They do claim that the LS Biota supplies sustainably aquacultured fish from reputable sources including its own marine life nursery.

Yeah, okay!

^^^This!!

 

Exactly my thoughts. This is just basic knowledge that you learn almost immediately when starting in this hobby. It takes time. I did more reading, and they are guaranteeing that in 10-14 days with their four step process you will have it fully set up and running. It's just painful to watch. They have secured over $43k in backing already!

You realize they don't ship the livestock with the tank. Also the whole "cycling requires a long time" thing is no longer a thing with the plethora of bacteria products out there. A tank can be cycled in less than a week if you know what you are doing.

 

Hell, the zeovit system which has been around for a long time is designed around a 14 day cycle. You have to follow the instructions but it's doable.
