Nitrifying Bacteria

The pack contains bio-activated live nitrifying bacteria to either use as a primary substrate or mix with the substrate for a healthy aquarium. It contains a patented blend of live nitrosomas and nitrobacter bacteria which break down and convert harmful ammonia into nitrates.

Usage Calculator: Use 1lb (450g) of Bio-Substrate for every 1 gallon (3.8 litres) of water.
