API Quick Start - Kickstart Your Aquarium's Biological Filter
Available in a range of resealable bottle sizes, API Quick Start is your key to a healthy and thriving aquarium from day one. This scientifically proven formula utilizes unique, patented nitrifying bacteria that work rapidly to consume toxic ammonia and nitrite. By establishing a strong biological filter quickly, Quick Start helps prevent "new tank syndrome" – a common cause of fish loss in newly set up aquariums – and allows for the *instant addition of fish to your aquarium, provided all other necessary conditions are met.
Use API Quick Start When:
- Setting up a new aquarium: Immediately introduce beneficial bacteria to establish the nitrogen cycle.
- Changing the tank's water: Replenish beneficial bacteria that may be disturbed during water changes.
- Adding new fish: Help the biological filter cope with the increased bioload.
- After changing the filter media: Re-establish beneficial bacteria that may have been removed.
Important Note: For the instant addition of fish to be successful, ensure all other necessary conditions are in place. This includes:
- Proper pH and water temperature: Maintain the ideal parameters for your chosen fish species.
- Effective filtration: Ensure your filter is running correctly and is appropriately sized for your tank.
- Addition of a water conditioner: Use a product like API Stress Coat to remove chlorine and chloramines from tap water, making it safe for your fish.
With API Quick Start, you can confidently establish a healthy biological filter and enjoy your new aquarium inhabitants sooner!
