A biological product for maintaining stable water parameters<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Aquaforest BIO STARTER is a specialized biological preparation containing selected strains of nitrifying bacteria from the Nitrospirae and Nitrobacter families, which play a key role in the nitrogen cycle.<\/p>\n

These bacteria convert toxic ammonia and nitrites into significantly less harmful nitrates, helping to maintain a healthy and stable aquatic ecosystem.<\/p>\n

The product is suitable for both newly established ponds and long-running systems\u2014especially after filter cleaning, fish treatment, water changes, or after winter when biological filtration needs to be restarted.<\/p>\n

Regular use of AF BIO STARTER supports biological filtration, improves fish condition, and helps maintain crystal-clear water.<\/p>\n

Applications<\/strong><\/h3>\n
    \n
  • New ponds \u2013 accelerates the nitrogen cycle and allows fish to be introduced sooner<\/li>\n
  • After winter \u2013 supports biological recovery when water temperature exceeds 8\u00b0C<\/li>\n
  • Water changes and filter cleaning \u2013 replenishes beneficial bacteria after system maintenance<\/li>\n
  • After fish treatment \u2013 rebuilds bacterial populations after antibacterial therapy<\/li>\n
  • Preventive use \u2013 monthly dosing helps maintain biological balance<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    What makes Bio Starter unique?<\/strong><\/h3>\n
      \n
    • Contains selected nitrifying bacteria (Nitrospirae and Nitrobacter) that actively support the nitrogen cycle<\/li>\n
    • Breaks down toxic ammonia and nitrites into less harmful nitrates<\/li>\n
    • Stabilizes biological balance and improves biological filtration efficiency<\/li>\n
    • Helps limit algae growth by stabilizing water parameters<\/li>\n
    • Ideal for new pond setups and spring start-ups when rapid biological activation is required<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Dosage<\/strong><\/h3>\n
        \n
      • New ponds<\/strong> \u2013 500 ml \/ 10,000 L daily for the first 2 weeks<\/li>\n
      • Spring<\/strong> \u2013 1000 ml \/ 10,000 L once per week for one month<\/li>\n
      • Rest of the year<\/strong> \u2013 1000 ml \/ 10,000 L once per month<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Shake before use. An additional dose is recommended after fish loss or when fish population increases.<\/p>\n

        Important information<\/strong><\/h3>\n
