AQUALEX Nitrifying Bacteria (BEE SHRIMP) 4L

Description

We recommend using this product for Bee Shrimp, Neocaridina Shrimp, and more. Nitroactive is formulated with a special bacteria dormancy technique that activates beneficial bacteria upon use. The Nitrogen cycle is extremely important for all aquarists to consider prior to keeping livestock in a planted tank. Nitroactive for Shrimp by SL-Aqua is meant to jumpstart the cycling process, ensuring ecological balance and a safe environment for your freshwater fish and shrimp species.
Ingredients:
Complex nitrifying bacteria
Usage and Notes:

Newly set up tanks: Per 100L (26.4 Gallons) of water, add 200ML of Nitroactive

AQUALEX Nitrifying Bacteria (Bee Shrimp) 4L

This 4L bottle of nitrifying bacteria is formulated specifically for sensitive shrimp such as Bee, Crystal and Neocaridina, jump-starting the nitrogen cycle so beneficial bacteria establish before livestock goes in. A dormancy technique keeps the culture viable until you dose it, then activates it in the tank. For shrimp keepers, a properly cycled tank is non-negotiable, since the gradual ammonia and nitrite of an immature system is what wipes out a colony.

We lean on a bottled culture like this when setting up dedicated shrimp tanks, where stable bio-filtration matters more than for hardier fish. It is equally useful after a big water change or filter clean knocks back your bacteria, helping the system recover before parameters swing. In warm Singapore rooms the cycle moves quickly, but you still want the bacteria established and tested stable before adding expensive grades.
