Bio S 10 ml — Nitrifying Bacteria Reef Aquarium Nitrogen Cycle - Aquaforest

Aquaforest Bio S 10 ml — Nitrifying bacteria for the nitrogen cycle in marine aquariums

Aquaforest Bio S is a specialized formula containing selected bacterial strains from the Nitrospirae and Nitrobacteraceae families, responsible for the nitrogen cycle in aquariums. These nitrifying bacteria effectively remove ammonia and toxic nitrogen compounds from the water, ensuring a healthy environment for fish and corals.

Applications and benefits

• New aquariums: Initiates and accelerates the nitrification process from the very first days. Ideal for inoculating biological filtration media in a newly installed system.
• Mature aquariums: Accelerates the decomposition of food residues and organic compounds. Promotes substrate cleaning and improves water clarity.
• Compatible with probiotic systems: Can be used in aquariums employing probiotic bacterial filtration, including the Aquaforest probiotic method.

Manufacturer's recommended dosage

• New aquarium: 1 drop per 100 liters of water, daily for the first 2 weeks.
• Mature aquarium: Use after each water change to replenish the bacterial population.
• Shake well before each use.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Bio S and Pro Bio S from Aquaforest?

Bio S contains nitrifying bacteria that manage the nitrogen cycle (ammonia and nitrites). Pro Bio S contains different probiotic bacteria that target nitrate and phosphate reduction. Both products are complementary in the Aquaforest probiotic method.

Can Bio S be used in an already mature reef aquarium?

Yes, Aquaforest recommends using Bio S after each water change in a mature aquarium to replenish the nitrifying bacteria population, accelerate waste decomposition, and maintain water clarity.

How long does it take for Bio S to start working in a new aquarium?

Bio S starts working immediately by creating a favorable environment for the replication of Nitrospirae and Nitrobacteraceae bacteria. The complete nitrogen cycle usually takes 2 to 4 weeks depending on the system conditions. Test ammonia and nitrites regularly before introducing livestock.
