The key to setting up a successful aquarium is to quickly convert the fish waste to a non-toxic form. This is done by nitrifying bacteria. Under normal conditions it can take 30 to 45 days for these bacteria to become naturally established in a newly set-up aquarium. Unfortunately, during this time period, ammonia and nitrite can increase to levels toxic to fish a common problem called New Tank Syndrome. Dr. Tim's One & Only Nitrifying Bacteria are the result of the latest scientific research and are used by public aquariums and professionals around the world to control ammonia and nitrite. Eliminates new tank syndrome Instantly creates a bio filter Removes toxic ammonia and nitrite, naturally No sulfur or other offensive odors No wait needed 100% natural Use when setting up a new tank, after a water change, cleaning your filter, when adding new fish and after a disease treatment to control ammonia and nitrite. Good for 6 months at room temperature, 1 year at 50F (10C).Keep refrigerated for longest shelf life.

Ammonia & Nitrate Adsorber KENT MARINE NITROGEN SPONGE is a granular zeolitic medium that directly adsorbs ammonia in freshwater and fosters anaerobic bacteria growth to reduce nitrate levels in both marine and freshwater aquariums.Directions Use 1 cup for each 20 gallons of aquarium water. More can be used for greater effectiveness. Rinse with fresh water before use (preferably reverse osmosis or de-ionized water). Place in a large mesh bag (800 micron) or a canister filter, directly in water flow. Make sure water flows through the material and not just around it. To control ammonia in freshwater systems, granules can be replaced weekly. When used for controlling nitrates, replace only half of the granules every 3 to 6 months. 3.3 lbs (1 qt) treats 50 gallons and will reduce nitrates by about 20 ppm. Several weeks will be required to see an appreciable drop in nitrates. Test nitrates and ammonia regularly.Can be used as an excellent media in de-nitrators and other slow-flow applications.The increased presence of ammonia or nitrates is usually associated with the system’s organic load. To keep this in check, prevent overfeeding, practice good maintenance, avoid aquarium overcrowding and provide proper filtration and water circulation. Regular water changes using reverse osmosis water are probably the most immediate way to reduce and regulate these levels. In marine systems be sure to use low nitrate salts such as KENT Marine Sea Salt.

OverviewNearly all pet aquatics companies manufacture a product that removes chlorine. None of those, however, can compare in quality, concentration, or effectiveness to Seachem’s flagship product: Prime®. Prime® is the complete and concentrated conditioner for both fresh and saltwater. Prime® removes chlorine, chloramine and detoxifies ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate. Prime® promotes the natural production and restoration of the slime coat rather than relying on artificial or non-native slime compounds. It is non-acidic and will not impact pH. A further bonus for the reef hobbyist—Prime® will not over-activate skimmers.Prime® is up to 5x more concentrated than competing products and is the second most concentrated dechlorinator on the market only after our own aquavitro® alpha™.Prime® may be used during tank cycling to alleviate ammonia/nitrite toxicity. It contains a binder which renders ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate non-toxic, allowing the biofilter to more efficiently remove them. It will also detoxify any heavy metals found in the tap water at typical concentration levels. Use at start-up and whenever adding or replacing water. When transporting or quarantining fish, use Seachem StressGuard™. When adding new fish, use Stability®. Both are ideal for use with Prime®.Sizes: 50 mL, 100 mL, 250 mL, 500 mL, 1 L, 2 L, 4 L
