This guide is for aquarists setting up new reef or nano aquariums. The key benefit is the instant creation of a natural biofilter to eliminate toxic ammonia and nitrite, preventing new tank syndrome. A caveat is that the product requires consistent water parameters for optimal bacterial colonization. Dr Tim's Aquatics One and Only Marine is a live nitrifying bacteria solution that establishes a biological filter, aids in curing live rock, and is safe for corals and sensitive fish without chemicals. It works effectively for up to six months at room temperature or one year if refrigerated.

New tank syndrome refers to the initial period in a new aquarium when toxic ammonia and nitrite accumulate because a biological filter has not yet been established. This product helps prevent that by instantly creating a biofilter.
While not strictly necessary after every small water change, it is beneficial to use after larger water changes, after disease treatments, or when adding new, sensitive livestock to ensure the biofilter is robust.
The active ingredient is 100% living nitrifying bacteria.
Ensure the product was shaken well before use and the entire contents were added. Verify water parameters are stable and within the typical range for marine aquariums (e.g., salinity, temperature). Consider if any other chemicals were recently added to the tank.
Cloudy water is often a sign of bacterial bloom, which is normal when introducing live bacteria. It should clear on its own within a few days. Avoid performing large water changes during this period unless absolutely necessary.
Ensure the product has been stored properly. Refrigeration is recommended for maximum longevity. If the product has been left unrefrigerated for an extended period, its effectiveness may be reduced.
To use Dr Tim's Aquatics One and Only Marine, shake the bottle well before opening. For best results, add the entire contents of the bottle to the aquarium water at once.

To maintain its efficacy, store the product in a cool place. Refrigeration is recommended for optimal shelf life, extending effectiveness up to one year. At room temperature, it remains effective for six months. Avoid exposing the product to excessive heat.
