Key Features
Complete biological maturation for reef and marine aquariums (nitrification + nitrate & phosphate reduction)
Includes critical starter components: Nitro Bac, Bacto‑Start, NO₃:PO₄‑X, and KH Coralline Gro
Helps establish aerobic and anoxic bacterial communities for efficient waste processing
Supports coralline algae growth and healthy micro‑fauna development
Kit treats aquarium systems up to approximately 250 L (65 gal)
Benefits
✔ Helps establish a mature, biologically stable aquarium ✔ Reduces toxic ammonia, nitrite, nitrate and phosphate effectively ✔ Promotes a healthy environment for corals and marine life ✔ Encourages growth of coralline algae and other beneficial organisms ✔ Easy‑to‑follow program with essential supplements included
How to Use
Begin cycling by adding Nitro Bac to seed bacteria in live rock, substrate, and bio‑media.
Introduce Bacto‑Start to simulate natural waste compounds and support balanced bacterial growth.
