API - Quick Start (473ml) has unique, patented nitrifying bacteria that has been scientifically proven to quickly consume ammonia and nitrate to help prevent fish loss.

This productallows the immediate addition of fish to a new freshwater or saltwater aquarium as it immediately starts the aquarium cycle. This treatment also helps to maintain an active biological filter in an established aquarium for healthy water conditions.It contains live, nitrifying bacteria.
