Nitrifying Bacteria

Contains a patented blend of live nitrosomas and nitrobacter bacteria which break down and convert harmful ammonia, into nitrates.
Directions for use:
PRIMARY (not mixed with Dry Aragonite)
Usage Calculator: Use 1lb (450g) of Bio-Substrate for every 1 gallons (3.8 litres) of water.
• DO NOT rinse before use.
• Spread Aragonite and fill with water slowly. Avoid stirring up the substrate.
• Once the tank is filled, start your filter. Any cloudy appearance should clear over time.
