works great
I used this to start a new tank a year ago and was pleased with the results. Biofiltration is the most important to reef success.

It just works
I used this product to speed up my fish tank cycle. It did a good job and dropped Amonia to zero really quick

Amazing stuff
I tried a product from a big store and it did not cycle my tank. This product works excellent however, highly recommended.

Works Great
We bought some of this for our 140 Gallon system and some for our 20 Gallon Quarantine system. They are quick and do a great job of cycling the tank.

Established a new saltwater tank in 2 weeks during fish-in cycling!!!
This established my NEW 75 gallon saltwater tank in 2 weeks. I did the full dose as bottles recommends for the first initial dose, and did partial dose per bottle recommendations for repeat dose a week later. I tested the water daily. I do highly recommend.

Worked really well. I fishless cycled a marine tank in about 2 weeks
I fed liquid ammonia to the tank (there are dedicated products you can buy). With this it was easy to cycle ammonia to nitrates. I tested the water every 2 days and then re-dosed. The size I bought was enough to continue dosing every 2 days until it cycled. I also had dry rock and live sand, so that could've helped with the speed. Overall, much faster than my freshwater aquariums compared to other brands.

Did the job?
It’s a good product

Followed all instructions (dry sand, Marco rock etc together with Rapid Cycle from Brightwell) but after four weeks NH3 was still 0.05ppm and Nitrate was only 5ppm. Tank has not cycled in 1 month let alone their claimed 7 days. Have now given up with Brightwell - added live sand and rock and Dr Tims. Hopefully this will work.
