Shōka Bacteria is a nitrifying bacteria preparation for aquarists setting up a new tank, or restoring biological balance after cleaning the filter or changing water. The culture is built from strains taken directly from natural environments, so it can be used as a starting point for biological filtration without waiting for a natural colony to develop.
Why it matters
- Autotrophic strains: the bacteria colonize filter media and begin multiplying in the substrate within a short time.
- Ammonia reduction: the product lowers NH4 levels, which speeds up stabilization of the nitrogen cycle parameters.
- Nitrite conversion: the bacteria oxidize NO2 into a less harmful form, supporting biological balance in the tank.
- High cell count: each gram contains 5 billion active bacteria, so a small dose goes a long way.

What it works with
The product is intended for aquariums where biological filtration is the basis of water quality, including newly set up tanks and systems after filter maintenance. For new tanks, the bacteria are applied to moistened filter media and left for an hour before the filter is started. Dosing is calculated per litre of tank volume, so it fits any aquarium size, provided the amount is adjusted to the water volume.

Use 1 g (one flat small scoop) per 50 l of aquarium volume, sprinkled onto wet filter media. Wait one hour before switching the filter on.
Use 1 g (one flat small scoop) per 100 l of aquarium volume, sprinkled onto the biological filter media.
Yes. Spread 2 g (one flat large scoop) per 50 l of aquarium volume over the laid-out Ganban Power Base layer, then cover it with Jiban Soil.
Mix 1 g (one flat small scoop) into 50 ml of aquarium water until fully dissolved, then draw the solution into a syringe. Siphon out the cyanobacteria with a hose, inject the solution into the affected spots, and turn the filter off for about 10 minutes during the treatment.
