Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the bacteria successfully colonize your substrate and filter media, follow these guidelines:
- Preparation: Shake the bottle well before each use to ensure the bacterial cultures are evenly distributed.
- Environment: Turn off all UV sterilizers and ozone-producing equipment before dosing. These devices can kill the beneficial bacteria before they have a chance to settle.
- New Aquarium Dosing: Dose 5 mL per 40 liters on day one. Follow with 5 mL per 80 liters daily for the subsequent seven days.
- Maintenance Dosing: Use 5 mL per 80 liters during monthly water changes, when introducing new fish, or after treating the aquarium with medications.
- Storage: Keep the container in a cool, dark place to maintain the viability of the bacterial strains.
