Vielen Dank! Top! Gern wieder !

This stuff is a absolute necessity, If you're new to owning fish or If you just want to set up a brand new tank. You need this Beneficial Bacteria to start up the Nitrogen Cycle in your tank and this is the best way to get it. For those who's new to owning fish or who doesn't know what the nitrogen cycle is and why it is important to your fish to keep them healthy, Im going to explain the easy way. Basically What the Nitrogen Cycle is and why is it important to your fish is because the Nitrogen Cycle is the process of GOOD BACTERICA that is introduced into your tank to help lower the Ammonia, Phosphates, Nitrate Levels that builds naturally from your fish, Un eaten food, and its Poop. Ammonia is the LEADING CAUSE OF FISH Death is given out naturally through your fish's Gills or its POOP, or uneaten food. now back to the Nitrogen CYCLE, which is very easy to understand if explained easliy with out all its technical mumbo jumbo.its basically the introduction of the GOOD bacteria into your tank, now your Ammonia, Nitrate, and Phosphate levels will go up, but don't worry its Suppose to do that, so don't go crazy doing water changes or adding chemicals to lower these levels no. The Beneficial Bacteria will do that for you in that case will provide a healthy Environment for your fish because the bacteria will eat up all the bad stuff your fish gives out. now your will have to monitor these Ammonia, Nitrate,Nitrate, and Phosphate levels with a test kit., and simply test everyday until you see the levels go all the way down to 0% once you see that all dropped all the way down then your tank has successfully gone through the Nitrogen Cycle and only then it is safe to start introducing fish into your new tank, as this procedure (Nitrogen Cycle) is only needed if you are setting up a brand new tank that is fresh out the box(if ordered online) or fresh out the pet store.

Très bon produit pour aquarium. Les produits canadiens Fluval sont vraiment à recommander pour que votre aquarium, comme le mien, soit sain pour vos poissons ! je recommande !

Just upgraded my rating to 5 stars, after tentative 4 star rating, now that the product has proven itself! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED . . . tank is crystal, crystal clear after use while adding many new fish over just a couple of days. I immediately ordered it again. This is my new "best buy" for this type of product. **Initial Review** I've used Jungle StartZyme for years, then gave Tetra SafeStartPlus a try. They have worked very well but I was shopping for a better price/larger size for "start-up" bacteria. FluvalHagen is a respected, established name and the product description read better than others I was considering so I bought this. Have only used it once but could see the difference in the tank overnight. I noticed while reading through many of the reviews on these bacterial "quick start" products that many people had negative things to say to the effect that they are useless or don't work . . . They DO Work! The short version is the tank must "cycle" to make an aquarium work properly for the fish to survive and be healthy. No amount of filtration can substitute for the natural cycle of beneficial bacteria that "eat" the fish waste & uneaten food in an aquarium. Bacteria are needed to do that. These "bacteria in a bottle" make that happen much faster, instantly for the most part. I also noticed some users were adding this before they have fish in the tank . . . bacteria and fish work together. There's no point in adding this type of product to an empty tank, the bacteria need the fish waste so they have something to eat! The fish need the bacteria so they don't get sick/die in their own waste before the cycle is balanced. A couple of **hints** for those new to fish keeping: overfeeding is the biggest problem with fish. Do Not feed more than the fish clean up within 5 minutes! It's a lot less than you think. It's fun to feed the fish but every single bit that isn't eaten immediately pollutes the tank and that's what kills the fish. Better a few small feedings than one big one. Do Not put too many fish in your tank, the "rule" is an inch of fish per gallon of water and the bigger the fish the bigger the mess! Don't add all the fish you want at once. Set the tank up, add this product, then add your first few fish. That can be done the first day, you don't have to look at an empty tank but feed very sparingly. That lets you figure out how much to feed while the filter starts to populate with bacteria. If the water stays clear, doesn't smell and the fish are doing good, then you can add a few more fish. Use this "liquid bacteria" per the instructions until you have successfully established the aquarium, then do your regular water changes as there needs to be "new water" in and "old water out, about a 3rd of the volume every month. There's no substitute for regular water changes, light feeding and live bacteria in the tank regardless of the type of fish or aquarium . . . be it a jar with a Betta or a fancy set up full of expensive exotic fish.
