Note: Between Tetra SafeStart and Tetra SafeStart Plus the difference is only in the concentration of the bacteria.

SafeStart Plus accelerates the establishment of the bio-filter in newly set-up freshwater aquariums. The live bacteria start working immediately to provide a safe and healthy environment for your fish without the long wait. SafeStart Plus can also be used after a water change, when adding fish or after medicating.
Use a gravel cleaner to siphon debris without disturbing aquarium decor or needing to remove fish. Change the Filter Cartridge at least every four weeks, or when you see a noticeable reduction in water flow. Add Tetra AquaSafe® or Tetra SafeStart® whenever you add water or fish to your aquarium.

After about a week or so you'll notice the ammonia levels go down, and nitrites start spiking. After another few days the nitrites and ammonia will both go down close to or at 0, and nitrates will be present. Now the tank is fully cycled, and it's safe to add fish.
between 6 to 8 weeksA complete cycle normally lasts between 6 to 8 weeks. After you add a new fish, wait another week and test the waters to ensure the ammonia and nitrite levels are low before you introduce another fish.
AquaSafe Plus does not remove ammonia, no. It removes chlorine, chloramines, and heavy metals, making tapwater safe for all freshwater fish and intertebrates. Safe Start would actually remove the ammonia. SafeStart Plus should be used during water changes.

What happens if I have added too much Tetra AquaSafe to my aquarium? Slightly exceeding the dosage of the Tetra AquaSafe tap water conditioner is harmless. Even if you increase the dose by up to twice the amount, Tetra AquaSafe is not harmful.
During the fish tank cycling process, you should regularly test the water in your fish tank for ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate. When the tests started to show 0 ammonia, 0 nitrites, and some nitrate then you can conclude that your fish tank is cycled.
You need to add bacteria to an aquarium as often as you add new fish to the tank or change its water. If you change your aquarium's water once every two weeks, then you need to add bacteria to your tank two times a month. This ensures the bacteria can keep up with the waste conversion.
If you have water conditioner to put into the tank you should be able to put your fish back in it after about 5 minutes. If you do not have water conditioner then you can let the water sit for about 8-12 hours and it should be ok.
