This product is aimed at aquarists setting up a new tank who want to shorten the nitrogen cycle before adding fish or shrimp. Instead of buying several separate liquids for nitrifying bacteria, nitrogen-compound reduction, bacterial food and carbon, the hobbyist gets all of them in one dose of powder sealed in a capsule.
Why it matters
- Dormant nitrifying bacteria: the powder contains a large number of nitrifying bacteria in a dormant form that become active once added to water.
- Concentrated bacterial food: a nutrient concentrate is included to support rapid multiplication of the bacteria during maturing of the tank.
- Breakdown of NH3, NH4 and NO2: the manufacturer states that the preparation quickly decomposes ammonia, ammonium and nitrite, which is intended to make the water safer for inhabitants.
- Organic carbon source: the carbon in the powder is used by beneficial bacteria as an energy source, supporting the removal of phosphates, nitrogen compounds and other organic and inorganic pollutants.
Specifications
- Form: powder in a capsule
- Quantity: 20 capsules per pack
- Dosage: one capsule per 60 l of aquarium water
- Type: organic
- Weight: 0.08 kg
What it works with
The product is designed for freshwater and planted aquariums of around 60 l, dosed per capacity of the tank. Dosing is done by opening the capsule above the aquarium and pouring the powder where water flow is strongest; the capsule itself should not be put into the water as it will not dissolve. An air pump can improve the activity of the cleaning bacteria, though it is not required.

Frequently asked questions
The supplier states that the starter powder lets you add fish much sooner than an unassisted cycle, but no specific waiting time is given. For the fastest start from zero, the instructions recommend 1 capsule per 60 L every 3 days for one month.
One capsule is intended for 60 L of aquarium water. Each pack contains 20 capsules.
No. Open the capsule over the aquarium and pour the powder out, because the whole capsule will not dissolve. Pour the powder where the water flow is strongest.
The powder is described as replacing separate liquids for nitrifying bacteria, lowering ammonia, nitrite and ammonium, bacterial nutrient, and reducing heavy metals and organic pollutants. It is a concentrated powder sealed in a capsule.
An air pump is not required, but the manufacturer says aeration improves the action of the cleaning bacteria. Once the tank is established, you can dose 1 capsule per 60 L once a week.
