Product Information

Full details

Aquavitro Seed is designed for aquarium hobbyists looking to rapidly and safely establish a robust biofilter in both freshwater and marine environments. By utilizing a specialized blend of nitrifying, denitrifying, and facultative bacteria, it effectively neutralizes toxic ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates to prevent new tank syndrome. While highly effective at accelerating the nitrogen cycle, users must strictly adhere to the dosing schedule and ensure that UV sterilizers or ozone equipment are deactivated during the application to allow the bacteria to colonize successfully.

FAQs

Can I add fish immediately after using Aquavitro Seed?

Yes, the product is designed to allow the safe introduction of fish at any time during the treatment process, provided the daily dosing schedule is strictly maintained.

Do I need to keep the UV light off permanently?

No, only turn off UV and ozone equipment during the initial dosing period and for a few hours after each dose to allow the bacteria to settle.

Is this product safe for invertebrates and corals?

Yes, Aquavitro Seed is completely safe for all marine and freshwater life, including invertebrates, corals, and live plants.

How long does the product last once opened?

When stored properly in a cool, dark environment, the bacterial cultures remain viable until the expiration date indicated on the packaging.

Can I overdose the tank with Seed?

Aquavitro Seed is a biological additive and there is little risk of toxicity from over-dosing, though it is always best to stick to the recommended amounts to avoid water quality fluctuations.

Troubleshooting

Ammonia levels remain high after seven days

Verify that UV sterilizers are off and ensure there is adequate water flow through your filter media to allow bacterial colonization.

Cloudy water after adding the product

This is often a sign of a bacterial bloom. Reduce feeding and ensure your mechanical filtration is clean; the water should clear naturally within 24 to 48 hours.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Safe for both freshwater and saltwater tanks
  • Contains both nitrifying and denitrifying bacteria
  • Highly adaptable to diverse water parameters
  • Prevents new tank syndrome effectively
  • Allows for earlier introduction of livestock

Cons

  • Requires UV and ozone units to be turned off during use
  • Needs a specific seven-day dosing regimen for new tanks
  • May require consistent maintenance doses for optimal results

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the bacteria successfully colonize your substrate and filter media, follow these guidelines:

  1. Preparation: Shake the bottle well before each use to ensure the bacterial cultures are evenly distributed.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Maintenance Dosing: Use 5 mL per 80 liters during monthly water changes, when introducing new fish, or after treating the aquarium with medications.
  5. Storage: Keep the container in a cool, dark place to maintain the viability of the bacterial strains.
