API – Quick Start (473ml) has unique, patented nitrifying bacteria that has been scientifically proven to quickly consume ammonia and nitrate to help prevent fish loss. This is because in a new aquarium, harmful ammonia and nitrate build from fish waste, often resulting fish loss or “new tank syndrome”.

This productallows the 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.It contains live, nitrifying bacteria.

They work to provide a safe, hospitable environment for fish such as tropical community fish, cichlids, goldfish and more. With API, you can spend more time admiring your fish, and less time scrubbing your tank. Make sure to use all products as directed in order to ensure the best results.
