Dr. Tim's Aquatics One & Only Live Nitrifying Bacteria is a highly regarded solution for establishing biological filtration in saltwater aquariums.
It contains live nitrifying bacteria that convert toxic ammonia and nitrite into less harmful nitrate, thereby preventing "New Tank Syndrome" and promoting a healthy aquatic environment.
Key Features:
Instant Biological Filtration: Quickly establishes a biofilter by introducing live nitrifying bacteria to saltwater and reef aquariums.
Prevents New Tank Syndrome: Converts toxic ammonia → nitrite → nitrate, reducing fish loss during cycling.
Reef & Fish Safe: Completely reef-safe—contains no sulfur or harsh chemicals; safe for corals, inverts, and all marine species.
No Waiting Period: Allows for the safe addition of fish within 24 hours of dosing.
Pure Live Cultures: Contains live Nitrosomonas and Nitrobacter/Nitrospira strains—same bacteria used by public aquariums.
No Foul Odor: Unlike many competitors, it has no sulfur or rotten egg smell.
No Refrigeration Needed: Shelf-stable at room temperature (store below 85°F, do not freeze).
Multiple Sizes Available: Treats tanks from 30 to 960 gallons, depending on bottle size.
Versatile Use Cases: Ideal after water changes, medication treatments, or filter cleanings.
Skimmer & UV Safe (after delay): Turn off protein skimmer and UV sterilizer for 24–48 hrs after use to let bacteria colonize properly.
