I picked up my new 36gbowfront yesterday, and bought some Bio Spira to cycle it when it is ready. The owner of my fave LFS - Bemidji, Mn - told me thatMareineland is soon releasing a new Bio Spira that does not have to be refrigerated. His rep told him they have found a way to keep the bacteria alive without refrigeration.

He did not know what impact this would have on price, etc.

Has anyone else heard anything

posted at another forum. it is a reply from a Marineland rep. the person who sent the e-mail was asking if it was a rumor started by Marineland's competitor.

Hello,
No. We are re launching it in May. We have re packaged it and increased
the concentration to make it shelf stable. It will no longer need to be
refrigerated as long as it is used by the expiration date. The
freshwater version will be branded Tetra and called Safe Start. The
Saltwater version will be branded Instant Ocean and still be called
Bio-Spira.
