API Quick Start, 8 OZ

The Essential Foundation for a Healthy Tank

Waiting weeks for a new aquarium to "cycle" is a thing of the past. API Quick Start allows you to add fish to your aquarium immediately by introducing the specific nitrifying bacteria required to convert toxic waste into safe levels. It is the most effective way to prevent "New Tank Syndrome," the leading cause of fish loss for beginners.

Advanced Biological Science for Your Aquarium:

• Immediate Nitrification: Contains patented strains of Nitrosomonas and Nitrobacter bacteria that immediately begin consuming toxic Ammonia (NH_3) and Nitrite (NO_2-).

• Proven Safety: Allows for the immediate addition of fish to a new freshwater or saltwater system without the risk of ammonia spikes.

• Versatile Ecosystem Support: Safe for all fish, invertebrates, and live plants. It will not cloud your water or alter your pH.

• Filter Recovery: Every time you change your filter media or use medications, you lose beneficial bacteria. An 8 oz bottle of Quick Start is the perfect "recharge" to keep your bio-filter strong.

• Shelf-Stable Quality: API’s unique process ensures the bacteria remain alive and potent at room temperature, ready to go to work the moment they are dosed.

Why the 8 oz Size?

The 8 oz bottle is the "Hobbyist Choice" because it offers:

• The Perfect Volume: Ideal for cycling a standard 29-gallon or 55-gallon aquarium.

• Extended Protection: Provides enough solution for the initial setup plus a month of weekly 25% water changes to ensure the cycle remains stable.

• Great Value: More cost-effective than the 4 oz size for those maintaining multiple small tanks or a single medium-sized show tank.

Simple Dosing Instructions:

• New Aquariums: Add 10 ml for every 10 gallons (38 L) of water.

• Maintenance & New Fish: Add 5 ml per 10 gallons (38 L) when performing water changes or adding new inhabitants.

• Pro-Tip: Always use API Stress Coat to dechlorinate your water before adding Quick Start. Chlorine is a disinfectant that will kill the beneficial bacteria you are trying to establish.
