Since your doing bucket wc's. Can add like seachem prime or similar dechlorinator to the bucket. Then add bacteria. Give it a minute and then add to the tank.
What's in the box? It's polys!

Sweeet. Gonna use that amazon prime for PRIME. Ayyyyyyy
Guys prime will absolutely disrupt the safe start. I dont have the link handy but prime binds ammonia and the bb contained in safestart is in some way mixed with an ammonia solution plus the bb need the ammonia in the tank to survive. The prime or any dechlorinator will basically starve the bb and it'll just be a waste of money.
What size tank again ? Also dont follow the directions on the back of the bottle thsts for maintenance which is b.s 1 large bottle will handle a 75 gal depending on bioload.
Seachems bb is ok with prime but i think its junk safestart works fast and less hasstle imo

I never had any luck with stability. I like the safestart because its usually the 1 big dose and wait a few days. Just feed lightly over the followimg week.
I have always used prime. I do switch between different bacteria though mostly stability or microbacter7 for start ups.
clm, you can also get some floating plants for your QT to help it cycle.
Water wisteria can literally just be thrown in the water if you can't find legit floating plants (other than duckweed, don't use duckweed - that stuff is tiny, gets everywhere and you'll never get rid of it.)
