Take the stress out of setting up your new aquarium with the API Aquarium Start Up Pack! This convenient kit combines two of API's most crucial water treatments – Stress Coat and Quick Start – to get your tank cycled and safe for fish in two easy steps. Ideal for the beginner, this pack helps you instantly transform tap water into a thriving aquatic environment, preventing the #1 cause of fish death: "new tank syndrome."
This comprehensive solution ensures you can add fish safely and quickly, giving you peace of mind and allowing you to enjoy your aquarium creation faster!
Complete 2-in-1 Solution: Combines water conditioning and biological filtration in one convenient package.
Reduces Fish Stress (Stress Coat): Contains the healing power of Aloe Vera to protect, soothe, and heal fish, reducing stress by up to 40% and making fish less susceptible to disease.
Makes Tap Water Safe (Stress Coat): Neutralizes harmful chemicals in tap water, removing chlorine, chloramine, and detoxifying heavy metals.
Instantly Starts Cycling (Quick Start): Utilizes unique, patented live, nitrifying bacteria that immediately start the natural aquarium cycle, quickly converting toxic ammonia into nitrite, then into harmless nitrate.
Prevents "New Tank Syndrome": By immediately establishing the biological filter, Quick Start helps prevent the dangerous build-up of ammonia and nitrite in new tanks.
Use Together: Both products can be used simultaneously when setting up a new tank, adding new fish, or during regular water changes for optimal safety and balance.
Safe for All Aquariums: Suitable for both freshwater and saltwater aquariums.
Dose with Stress Coat: Add to your water to neutralize harmful chemicals and protect your fish with Aloe Vera, forming a synthetic slime coat.
Add Quick Start: Introduce the live, nitrifying bacteria to kick-start the aquarium cycle. Fish can now be safely added!
The API Aquarium Start Up Pack is essential for all aquarium hobbyists setting up a new tank or adding new fish. It’s an ideal choice for beginners seeking a quick, reliable, and safe method to establish a healthy biological environment in their freshwater or saltwater aquarium.
