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. Directions for Use:SHAKE WELL BEFORE USINGFOR BEST RESULTS USE THE ENTIRE CONTENTS AT ONE TIMEMinimum dose 10 ml per 10 gallons of aquarium water.Cannot be overdosed.DO NOT FREEZE

Waste-Away is a unique combination of bacteria that attack and dissolve organic wastes in the aquarium quickly. Even with good maintenance and monthly water changes, sludge and wastes remain in the aquarium in hard to reach and hard to see places, and are dissolved in the water. Waste-Away, a 100% natural, beneficial-bacteria based product, works to quickly find, break down and remove these wastes. Dissolves sludge and dirt Unclogs gravel/coral beds Removes hidden wastes Contains no phosphates 100% natural

DrTim's First Defense was developed to help fish adapt to new environments by assisting the fishes' natural immune system. Environmental Changes Cause Fish Stress Changing the environment of a fish causes stress that robs fish of essential nutrients and can weaken their immune system. First Defense is scientifically designed to provide stress relief and support the immune system, helping fish cope with stress due to bagging and shipping from the store to your tank, water changes, new fish additions, disease treatments, and other environmental changes.

This bottle of reagent grade ammonium chloride is for use when fishless cycling. Concentration is 50 mg/L of total ammonia-nitrogen (TAN). Dose 4 drops per gallon of aquarium water.*  Use with One and Only Nitrifying Bacteria. 1 drop equals 0.05 ml so this bottle will treat 300 gallons. Generally during a fishless cycle one needs to add ammonium chloride to their tank 3 or 4 times so this bottle is enough ammonia to cycle aquariums up to 250 gallons. Some conversions: 1 teaspoon equals about 5 ml which is 100 drops 1 tablespoon equals almost 15 ml which is 300 drops *NOTE: As of November 1, 2016 we changed the concentration of the ammonium chloride solution so it now takes 4 drops per gallon.  The previous version called for 1 drop per gallon.  Please see the label on your bottle to determine how much to use.  If the bottle say use 1 drop use 1 drop if the bottle says use 4 drops use 4 drops.

NP-Active Pearls are 100% biodegradable polymer bio-pellets DESIGNED and TESTED for aquatic systems that act as a carbon source for the growth of beneficial bacteria resulting in the removal of nitrate and phosphate from the water.Why use NP-Active Pearls? Has algae overrun your aquarium?  Once you’ve established a stable biofilter, nitrate levels begin to rise in your aquarium water.  Phosphate levels begin to accumulate due to feeding and other organic materials in your tank.  Algae thrive on the available nitrate and phosphate resulting in a tank full of unsightly, messy algae.  NP-Active Pearls remove nitrate and phosphate from your aquarium water naturally, making these nutrients unavailable to algae and other unsightly nuisances. How do NP-Active Pearls work?Friendly bacteria use NP-Active Pearls to assimilate phosphate and nitrate in aquarium water, out-competing algae for these nutrients, and producing an easily harvested bacterial biomass which can be removed by mechanical filtration (filter pad) or by a protein skimmer.  Specially developed for aquariums Works in ALL Aquariums Safe for ALL fish and corals PURE - no fillers, no chemicals Easier than carbon dosing Ultimate in Carbon Bio-Polymer ASTM D7081 Certified Marine Biodegradable Made in the USA What do you need?   NP-Active Pearls Reactor or similar device and pump  Reef-Pure Waste-Away (to seed NP-Active Pearls with bacteria) Protein Skimmer is recommended Select the size best suited for your system:150 ml (0.93 cups) treats 50 gallons (189 liters)450 ml (1.90 cups) treats 150 gallons (568 liters)900 ml (3.75 cups) treats 300 gallons (1,136 liters)3,790 ml (1 gallon) treats 1,260 gallons (4,770 liters)

Clear-UP clears cloudy white water.  Clear-UP is a 100% natural water clarifier consisting of beneficial bacteria, with the ability to "floc" small particles from the aquarium water.The result is clear water without the use of the harmful chemicals contained in other water clarifiers, such as alum (that contains aluminum) and polyacrylamide (a potentially toxic chemical).Directions:  Shake well before using.Dosage: Add 5 ml per 10 gallons of aquarium water.For best results, temporarily turn the filter off, add Clear-UP over the entire aquarium water surface and wait 10-15 minutes for the flocs to form, and then turn the filter back on.In extreme cases, the water may not clear up for 24 hours.
