Product Information

Full details

Evolution Aqua PURE Aquarium Filter Start Gel is an essential tool for aquarium hobbyists looking to accelerate the maturation of their biological filtration in new or established tanks. This concentrated live bacteria culture provides a rapid boost to nitrifying colonies, helping to keep ammonia and nitrite levels in check to ensure fish health. While it is highly effective at establishing a stable nitrogen cycle, it is important to note that this product is strictly for biological support and will not clear green water issues or replace mechanical filtration needs.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this product in both freshwater and saltwater tanks?

Yes, the product is suitable for both freshwater and saltwater aquarium environments.

How long do I need to keep the UV-C sterilizer off?

You must switch off the UV-C sterilizer during the application and keep it off for 12 hours afterward to prevent the light from killing the live bacteria.

Will this product clear up cloudy or green water?

No, this is a biological filtration aid. It does not treat green water or algae blooms.

How often should I apply the gel?

For optimal maintenance of your biological colony, apply the gel every two weeks.

Does it require extra oxygen during the process?

Yes, ensure you provide additional aeration to the tank to support the rapid growth of the nitrifying bacteria.

Troubleshooting

Ammonia levels remain high after application

Ensure the UV-C filter was turned off for the full 12 hours post-application and check that the filter media has sufficient flow.

Gel is difficult to apply to internal filters

Remove the filter sponge, apply the gel directly to the surface of the sponge, wait a few seconds for it to adhere, and then replace it.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Gel consistency prevents waste by sticking to filter media
  • Highly concentrated for high-volume capacity
  • Significantly reduces the time required to cycle a new aquarium
  • Easy to dose directly onto existing filter materials

Cons

  • Does not treat or clear green water algae
  • Requires temporary shutdown of UV-C sterilizers
  • Demands strict adherence to dosage intervals for best results

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin using the product, shake the bottle vigorously to ensure the bacteria are evenly distributed within the gel matrix. Apply up to 125ml directly onto your filter media and replace it into the filter housing. To ensure the survival and growth of the bacteria, you must switch off any UV-C sterilizers for 12 hours after application; otherwise, the UV light will neutralize the live bacteria before they can colonize the media. Maintenance involves repeating the dosage every two weeks to sustain a robust bacterial population. Store the bottle in a cool place and keep away from extreme temperatures to preserve product efficacy.
