Life Essence is a bacterial preparation for aquarium owners who are starting a new tank, need to restore the bacterial population after cleaning the filter, or are recovering a system after treatment with strong antibacterial medications.

Why it matters

- Replenishes bacterial flora lost during filter cleaning or after medicating fish with strong antibacterial products.
