API Quick Start - Freshwater and Saltwater Aquarium Nitrifying Bacteria

Allows instant addition of fish when starting a new aquarium

API Quick Start Freshwater & Saltwater Aquarium Nitrifying Bacteria

Starting a new aquarium is exciting, but the first few weeks are also when water quality can become a problem. As fish waste builds up, ammonia and nitrite can rise and cause new tank syndrome, which can be harmful to fish.

API Quick Start contains live, nitrifying bacteria that immediately get to work helping establish the aquarium's biological cycle. These beneficial bacteria consume ammonia and nitrite, helping support healthier water conditions and an active biological filter.

API Quick Start can be used when:

• Starting a new freshwater or saltwater aquarium

• Adding new fish

• Changing aquarium water

• Changing filter media

• After medication

• When ammonia or nitrite are detected

• Maintaining biological filtration in an established aquarium

How to use API Quick Start

Shake well before use.

Freshwater: Add 10mL per 38L of aquarium water.

Saltwater: Double the freshwater dose.

API Quick Start can be used as part of setting up a new aquarium and when maintaining an established aquarium's biological filtration.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does API Quick Start do?
API Quick Start adds live nitrifying bacteria to help establish and maintain the biological cycle in freshwater and saltwater aquariums. The bacteria help consume ammonia and nitrite.

Can I add fish straight away after using API Quick Start?
API Quick Start is designed to allow fish to be added to a new aquarium immediately while the biological cycle begins. However, adding fish gradually and monitoring ammonia and nitrite is still important while the aquarium's biological filter becomes established.

When should I use API Quick Start?
Use it when starting a new aquarium, adding fish, changing water or filter media, after medication, or whenever ammonia or nitrite are detected.

Can I use API Quick Start in a saltwater aquarium?
Yes. API Quick Start can be used in both freshwater and saltwater aquariums. Use double the freshwater dosage for saltwater.

Does API Quick Start replace water changes?
No. Beneficial bacteria are an important part of biological filtration, but regular water testing, appropriate water changes and good aquarium maintenance are still essential.

Wonderworld Tip

Don't assume a new aquarium is ready just because the water looks clear. Ammonia and nitrite are invisible, so regular testing is one of the best ways to keep an eye on what's happening during the early stages of your aquarium's cycle.
