START – CYCLING BACTERIA
LABEL DESCRIPTION
Animal Wellbeing’s Start is a powerful concentrated solution designed to enhance the health of your aquarium by introducing beneficial bacteria strains. This product effectively colonises various surfaces such as rock, wood, and substrate, converting toxic ammonia and nitrite into less harmful nitrate. Ideal for new and established aquariums, Start accelerates the cycling process and replenishes essential bacteria populations, ensuring a stable and thriving aquatic environment. Maintaining a robust nitrifying bacteria community is vital, as deficiencies can lead to dangerous ammonia spikes, posing severe risks to fish health and overall aquarium stability.
