Prodibio Start Up for Freshwater & Saltwater Aquariums

Live nitrifying bacteria and ammonia neutralizer combo allows faster and safer addition of livestock to new aquariums. Prodibio Start Up for Freshwater & Saltwater Aquariums brings together BioDigest (live bacteria breakdown) and Stop Ammo (ammonia neutralizer) to quickly establish biological filtration for natural and effective breakdown of toxic ammonia, nitrite and nitrate. Introduce fish to your newly established freshwater aquarium after just four hours or 12 hours for marine aquariums.

Prodibio BioDigest is a concentrated solution made up of multiple strains of live nitrifying, nitrate-reducing, and facultative bacteria. This unique selection allows complete nitrification as well as effective digestion of organic waste material for reduced levels of nitrates and phosphates.

Stop Ammo is a natural plant extract that neutralizes ammonia and reduces the production of nitrites in aquariums.

Prodibio Aquarium Care Products are specially packaged in single-dose glass ampoules. Used in its entirety once opened, each vial contains a highly concentrated product to reduce packaging waste. Tinted glass protects active ingredients from light damage and sealed with inert gas (argon or nitrogen) to reduce oxidation and product degradation. Ok to store at room temperature - refrigeration not required.

General Information
BioDigest is made up of natural nitrifying, nitrate reducing, and facultative bacterial strains selected for their ability to convert ammonia into nitrites, nitrites into nitrates and nitrates into nitrogen. Biological filtration quickly gets underway thanks to nitrifying bacteria such as Nitrosomonas europaea and Nitrobacter winogradskyi.

Aquarium cleaning by waste matter digestion is facilitated by the presence of numerous different strains of heterotrophic bacteria such as Paracoccus denitrificans and Pseudomonas stuzeri present in optimal proportions. These bacteria work together with each strain finishing off the work started by the others. Some are capable of biosynthesizing nitrate-reducing enzymes in aerobic conditions. This enables water to be effectively purified, nitrates and phosphates to be reduced, and prevent the spread of filamentous algae.

Stop Ammo is made from plant extracts, which are chosen for their capacity to trap ammonia nitrogen. One of properties of Stop Ammo is that it reduces nitrite production when a new aquarium is being started up with a specific adapted concentration (1/3 of your toughest fish).
