 acterial additives establish a healthy population of beneficial bacteria. These bacteria efficiently break down ammonia into nitrite and then to nitrate. The use of bacterial additives is most commonly associated with the initial setup of an aquarium, during the cycling process. Once the aquarium has properly cycled and a stable population of beneficial bacteria has been established, many hobbyists are left wondering what to do with the rest of their bottle. Fortunately, the benefits of bacterial additives extend well beyond the cycling process.
Bacterial additives can be used on a regular basis to supplement your existing biological filtration and to maintain good water quality. Having a bottle of bacterial additives such as our
Live Nitrifying Bacteria on hand will benefit both fresh and saltwater aquariums and is one of the keys to a stable aquarium with healthy inhabitants. |
