Directions: Important Do not use this product with untreated tap water. First, use Brightwell Erase-Cl to completely remove chloramines and chlorine from tap water. Chloramine and chlorine are lethal to the bacteria in this product and if not removed will cause it to fail. Shake product vigorously immediately before using. Consult our website for the latest information and cycle schedule. Add the appropriate volume of MicroBacterStart XLF (see below) to the aquarium in an area of high flow to promote dispersion. Do not use any other bacteria product until cycling with this product is complete. To seed Biological Filtration in new aquaria Add 30 ml (6 capfuls) of MicroBacterStart XLF per 25 US-gallons (95 L) of aquarium water. Add one or more hardy fish. Remove filter floss, turn UV-sterilization off for the complete period of cycling until you are finished dosing this product. Test ammonia and nitrite levels daily or as needed, if either are above .2 ppm, then you can dose again at a lower dose of 10 ml per 25 US-gallons, if desired. At 7 days or longer, Tank is cycled if, and only if, both ammonia and nitrite levels are zero and nitrate is well above zero. To replace bacteria killed by extensive cleaning of substrates and surfaces add 10 to 30 ml per 25 US-gallons (95 L) depending on perceived damage to filter bed, and ammonia level. To replace bacteria killed by medications add 30 ml per 25 US-gallons (95 L) depending on perceived damage to filter bed. Then add 5 ml per half hour until ammonia levels come down. To perform a Fishless Cycle Purchase a bottle of MicroBacter QuikCycl to use simultaneously with this product, MicroBacterStart XLF. Fishless cycling requires both products to be used together. This product will provide the bacteria and the QuikCycl will provide the nutrients. Do not add fish, inverts or plants until the tank is cycled! Ongoing care After the aquarium is cycled To provide ongoing biological stability to a cycled aquarium Switch to FlorinBacterClean or FlorinBacter7 after tank is fully cycled and one week has elapsed. This will greatly reduce problems while the aquarium is maturing. At that point you can add FlorinAxis to provide a carbon source for the FlorinBacter, and plants if desired.
