Description

Aquavitro Seed is a premium aquarium additive formulated to rapidly and safely establish the biofilter in both freshwater and marine systems, effectively preventing "new tank syndrome," a leading cause of fish mortality. This advanced solution contains a synergistic blend of aerobic, anaerobic, and facultative bacteria that facilitate the breakdown of waste organics, ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates, ensuring a healthy and stable aquatic environment. 

Key Features:

  • Rapid Biofilter Establishment: Accelerates the development of the aquarium's biological filtration system, allowing for the immediate introduction of aquatic life.
  • Comprehensive Bacterial Blend: Includes nitrifying and denitrifying bacteria, along with facultative strains capable of adapting to both aerobic and anaerobic conditions, ensuring efficient waste breakdown.
  • Versatile Application: Suitable for use in both freshwater and marine aquariums, providing flexibility for various aquatic setups.
  • Enhanced Stability: The robust bacterial strains are specifically developed for hardiness and adaptability to a wide range of environmental conditions, reducing the risk of culture crashes.

Usage Instructions:

  1. Initial Setup: Shake well before use. Turn off UV/ozone. On the first day with a new aquarium, add 5 mL of Aquavitro Seed for each 40 L (10 US gallons) of water.

  2. Daily Maintenance: For the next seven days, add 5 mL for each 80 L (20 US gallons) daily. Fish and other aquatic species may be introduced at any time as long as the dosage is maintained for the full seven days.

  3. Ongoing Care: For optimal biofilter performance, use 5 mL for each 80 L (20 US gallons) once a month, with each water change, when introducing new fish, or after medicating the aquarium.

Precautions:

  • Store in a cool, dry place.

  • Keep out of reach of children.

  • Avoid contact with eyes and skin; rinse thoroughly with water if contact occurs.

By incorporating Aquavitro Seed into your aquarium maintenance routine, you can ensure a balanced and healthy environment for your aquatic inhabitants, promoting their well-being and longevity.
