Point taken. However in the context of which I made this statement, there is presumably not enough of the correct types of bacteria to support livestock. You are clever enough to know that's what I meant.

I guess my point is that unless you're actively trying to kill bacteria, bacteria is always growing at an exponential rate..
there's no real need to do anything but wait.. (aside from actually helping your tank by going through the cycling process slowly) it takes longer, but, there are no adverse affects to riding it out...
and all the "right type / quantity" of bacteria will be there when the cycle is complete..
