FAQ: Will aquavitro remediation™ kill off my existing bacteria colonies?

No.  remediation™ does not attack or kill your existing bacteria colonies, nor does it "starve out" your existing bacteria colonies. remediation does not cause ammonia spikes, and can be added to completely established aquariums with no risk to the fish. The beneficial bacteria in remediation is much better at surviving adverse conditions than most strains of beneficial bacteria found in aquariums, which means that aquariums which are supplemented with remediation will typically have a much larger population of the type of bacteria in remediation than other types of beneficial bacteria.  This is not because remediation is harming the existing bacteria colonies in any way - it is simply better at surviving and stabilizing your tank.
