is a highly concentrated, live nitrifying bacteria solution designed to rapidly establish the biological filter in new aquariums, allowing for the safe and immediate addition of livestock. It is available in two main formulas: TurboStart 700 for freshwater and TurboStart 900 for saltwater systems.
Key Features and Benefits
- Rapid Cycling: TurboStart can completely cycle a new aquarium in five days or less, a process that typically takes several weeks without it.
- Prevents "New Tank Syndrome": By quickly breaking down toxic ammonia and nitrite, it prevents harmful spikes in these compounds, minimizing fish loss.
- Live, Concentrated Formula: It contains the specific Nitrosomonas and Nitrobacter species of bacteria proven effective by professionals, at a concentration 15 times higher than standard FritzZyme formulas.
- Versatile Use: It can be used for new system setups, or to fortify existing biofilters after water changes, aggressive cleaning, adding new livestock, medicating, or changing filter media.
- Safe for Livestock: The product is safe to add directly into a tank with fish, plants, and invertebrates present
-
For best results, follow the directions on the product label and consider these best practices:
- Remove Chlorine/Chloramine: Ensure all chlorine and chloramines are removed from the water using a quality water conditioner like Fritz Complete before adding TurboStart, as these chemicals are lethal to the bacteria.
- Provide an Ammonia Source: In a new system, nitrifying bacteria require an ammonia source to survive and colonize. Add fish (stock lightly) or use a chemical ammonia source like Fritz Fishless Fuel within 24 hours of dosing the bacteria.
- Maintain Parameters: The bacteria work fastest at temperatures between 77-86°F (25-30°C) and a pH range of 7.3-8.0. Ensure adequate alkalinity (KH) and trace phosphates are present for optimal performance.
- Turn Off Equipment: Discontinue the use of UV sterilizers and protein skimmers for at least 5 days after application, as they can kill the beneficial bacteria.
- Storage: The product is live and sensitive; it has a limited shelf life and must be stored refrigerated. Do not freeze or overheat the product
