Yo Hound, March 1st post, I already got it stabilized. It's not nuteburn. Thanks though. Oh and pepper, I have been waiting for days on about 5 boards for someone that was familiar with the products to tell me what is going on. I agree, I thought I was putting way too much in of the tarantula (the reccommended amonut). I also read that those bacteria can make ph rise for a day or two. I think you are right. Thank you, being one of the first ones to actually answer the question that was asked. What amounts do you go for of the tarantula, let's say per 5 gal? 1 tsp? 2 tsp?
