API - Marine Quick Start 16 oz

Product Description:

API Marine Quick Start allows for the immediate addition of fish to a new saltwater aquarium. It contains live, nitrifying bacteria that instantly start the biological cycle by establishing the filter bed, preventing "new tank syndrome" and ensuring a safe environment for marine life.

Country of Origin:

 USA

Weight/Volume:

16 fl oz (473 ml) / Approx. 1.1 lbs

Ingredients:

 Contains proprietary strains of live Nitrifying Bacteria (specifically Nitrospira, Nitrosomonas, and Nitrobacter) suspended in a purified aqueous solution with stabilizers to ensure shelf life.

Analysis:

The formula is designed to perform biological nitrification. It effectively converts toxic Ammonia ($NH_3$) into Nitrite ($NO_2^-$) and subsequently into non-toxic Nitrate ($NO_3^-$). It is phosphate-free and safe for all marine fish, corals, and invertebrates.

Feeding (Dosing) Instructions:

• Shake well before using.

• Dosage: Add 10 ml per 10 gallons (38 L) of aquarium water.

• When to use: Use when starting a new aquarium, adding new fish, changing filter media, or after water changes and treatments.

• Note: Always ensure the water is dechlorinated before adding Quick Start to prevent harming the live bacteria.
