How it Works

In a newly set up aquarium, the addition of a highly concentrated preparation based on selected bacteria allows for extremely rapid initiation of the nitrification cycle and reduction of the feared nitrite peak before transformation into nitrates.

Bactiva, with its enhanced and concentrated formula and its content of various strains of immediately active live bacteria, guarantees:

• Rapid start-up: Live bacteria immediately colonize the filter and substrate
• Optimal nitrification: Efficient transformation of ammonium → nitrites → nitrates
• Nitrite peak reduction: Reduces the dangerous nitrite peak below the danger threshold for fish
• Fish protection: Allows for much quicker introduction of fish

The Nitrification Cycle

The nitrification cycle is fundamental for aquarium health:

• Phase 1: Organic waste and uneaten food produce ammonium (toxic)
• Phase 2: Nitrosomonas bacteria transform ammonium into nitrites (very toxic)
• Phase 3: Nitrobacter bacteria transform nitrites into nitrates (less toxic)

Without sufficient bacteria, the nitrite peak can be lethal to fish. Bactiva immediately provides all the necessary bacteria.

Recommended Uses

• Starting new aquariums (fresh and marine)
• After thorough filter cleaning
• After treatments with medications that kill bacteria
• To restore biological balance
• Regular maintenance to support the bacterial colony
• In case of biological overload (too many fish, overfeeding)

Instructions for Use

• New aquarium: Add according to the dosage indicated on the package
• Introduction of fish: Possible much sooner than with traditional start-up
• Maintenance: Add regularly to support bacteria
• Follow dosing instructions carefully
• The diaphragm valve preserves product effectiveness
