Benefits of Bacterial Additives
Bacterial 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 on hand will benefit both fresh and saltwater aquariums and is one of the keys to a stable aquarium with healthy inhabitants.
In addition to cycling an aquarium, use bacterial additives to:
- Prevent potential ammonia spikes during the introduction of new fish.
- Replenish population of beneficial bacteria depleted by medications or large water changes.
- Condition new filters with beneficial bacteria.
- Reestablish beneficial bacteria in older aquariums.
- Clear cloudy or milky water due to overfeeding.
- Reduce stress and improve the immune systems of aquarium inhabitants.
- Maintain good water quality through efficient biological filtration of excess organic waste materials.
