Product Information
Full details
Oase AquaActiv BioKick Premium is a high-potency liquid bacterial starter designed for pond owners looking to quickly mature their filtration systems and neutralize harmful toxins like ammonia and nitrite. It is ideal for pond startups, post-medication recovery, or filter maintenance, offering an activity level of over 50 billion microorganisms per ml; however, it requires the temporary deactivation of UVC units to ensure the live bacteria can successfully colonize the filter media.

FAQs
Do I need to refrigerate the ampoules?
No, thanks to the medical glass packaging, the bacteria remain stable at room temperature for years.
What is the dosage for a 20,000-litre pond?
Use two ampoules, repeating the treatment after 48 hours.
Can I overdose the pond?
Yes, but it is harmless. Overdosing is safe and can actually enhance the biological performance of the filter.
When should I turn my UVC back on?
Wait at least 24 hours after applying the dose to ensure the bacteria have settled in the filter.
Is this product safe for fish and plants?
Yes, it is entirely safe for all pond inhabitants when used as directed.
Can I use this after adding medication to the water?
Yes, it is excellent for restoring biological balance after the use of pond medications.
Troubleshooting
Ammonia levels remain high after one week
Check that the UVC clarifier was turned off correctly for the full 24-hour period after each dose and ensure water aeration is sufficient.
Filter performance is still slow
Verify that your filter media is not clogged with debris; clean the media if necessary before adding a follow-up dose of BioKick.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To apply, shake the ampoule gently and add the contents directly into your pond or filter system. One ampoule is sufficient for 10,000 litres of water. For best results, repeat the dosage after 48 hours. Crucially, you must switch off any installed UVC clarifiers for 24 hours following each application; if the UVC remains on, it will kill the beneficial bacteria before they can populate the filter. Store the product in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. The medical glass ampoules should be opened carefully using a cloth or specialized tool to avoid injury.
