Product Information
Full details
NT Labs Satus is an advanced biological additive designed for aquarium hobbyists looking to establish, accelerate, or maintain a healthy filter ecosystem. By utilizing a proprietary blend of aerobic and anaerobic organisms, it effectively neutralizes toxic ammonia and nitrites, making it ideal for new tank setups or routine maintenance. While it significantly reduces the maturation time for biological filters, users must remember to deactivate UV sterilizers or ozone equipment for two hours post-application to ensure the live bacteria can colonize effectively.

FAQs
Can I overdose Satus?
While it is a natural biological product, it is recommended to follow the dosage instructions to ensure the most efficient transition of nitrogen compounds.
Is it safe for saltwater aquariums?
Yes, NT Labs Satus is suitable for both freshwater and saltwater aquarium environments.
How often should I use this?
Use it when setting up a new tank, after every water change, or following filter maintenance to replenish bacterial colonies.
Do I need to turn off my skimmer?
Yes, if your protein skimmer utilizes ozone, it should be turned off for two hours. Otherwise, it is usually safe to leave running.
Does it have an expiration date?
Please check the bottle for the shelf-life information, as this is a living product that should be used within the recommended period for optimal performance.
Troubleshooting
Ammonia levels remain high after dosing
Verify that UV sterilizers were switched off for the full two-hour period and perform a water test to ensure the filter flow rate is adequate.
Water appears cloudy after addition
This is often a natural bacterial bloom; it should clear within 24-48 hours as the colonies establish themselves in the filter.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use NT Labs Satus, first shake the bottle vigorously to ensure the settled beneficial organisms are evenly suspended in the solution. Calculate the required volume based on your aquarium's total water capacity—referencing the NT Labs online dosage calculator is highly recommended for precision.
Once added, it is critical to turn off any UV sterilizers or ozone-producing equipment for at least two hours; these devices can neutralize the live bacteria before they have the chance to colonize the filter media. For care, keep the bottle tightly sealed in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, as heat can reduce the efficacy of the bacterial culture.
