Bio spira?

i just set up my 29 gallon saltwater tank yesterday.
i went today and bought some bio spira because i heard and read that it makes the tank ready for fish in about a day.
would i still have to worry about nitrites and ammonia even though it is supposed to get rid of it in a day?
if anyone has used bio spira before, let me know how it worked for you.
thanks.

bio spira dosent cycle the tank instantly it just levles out the peaks of ammonia and nitrites so it dosent stress fish as much. Are you doing fish only, fish only with live rock, or a reef tank. You should definatly take things very slow. Saltwater tanks are like race cars, the faster you go the harder you crash.

im doing a fish only tank without live rock.
i added the bio spira and then i added a fish about an hour later. the fish seems to be doing well. he is swimming around and just ate also. i acclimated him for just over an hour before i put him in the tank.

Bio Spira works great. I used it when I set up my tank. Make sure you test your water every day.
