Description

In a new aquarium, harmful ammonia and nitrite build up from fish waste, often resulting in fish loss or “new tank syndrome”. The unique, patented nitrifying in API QUICK START Saltwater And Reef Aquarium Nitrifying are scientifically proven to quickly consume ammonia and nitrite to help avert fish loss. API QUICK START Aquarium Treatment allows immediate addition of fish to a new freshwater or saltwater aquarium as it immediately starts the aquarium cycle. This treatment also helps to maintain an active biological filter in an established aquarium for healthy water conditions. API QUICK START contains live, nitrifying.

This product made getting my new saltwater tank ready for fish faster. Also helps the tank get back where it needs to be after large water changes.

  • Not as effective
Size: 16-Ounce Style: Marine Pattern Name: Nitrifying Bacteria
I tried this product on a couple different tanks but I found it works quite a bit less efficient than other competing brands. Maybe there are additional steps required outside of the instructions

Size: 16-Ounce Style: Marine Pattern Name: Nitrifying Bacteria
I bought this product because it said that you can add fish immediately. Added the product per suggestions. 20ml/10gal water. I have 90 gallons of RO DI (@ 0 TDI) water in my system. ( 75gallon main and 30gallon sump, 15gallon volume difference due to not filling tanks to top) I added 180ml of Quickstart. Immediately prior to adding quick start I measured salinity@ 1.0265, PH @ 8.1, ammonia 0ppm, nitrites@0ppm & Nitrates@0ppm. Water temp was 79deg F. My tank had water in the system approximately 9days. After adding the Quick start in the evening at 6pm I waited 24hrs and introduced my first fish, two beautiful Gladiator Clownfish. Both fish were drip acclimated. My 2 year old son and wife picked them out. With in one hour both fish were dead. Immmediately measured the ammonia level and it was .25ppm. All this stuff did was add a ton of toxic ammonia to my tank with no bacteria to detoxify it! This stuff burned the gills of my fish. They suffered. $80 worth of fish, a traumatic experience for my wife and kid. Very unhappy! ... show more
