🐠 Optimized Fluval Cycle Biological Enhancer for Effective Aquarium Water Treatment Review

I have run aquariums several times in my adult life without knowing the concept of 'cycling'. After all the fish died, I gave up. I decided to give it another try for my kids after doing a lot of research. I set up the aquarium and let it run for about 3 days then added some Fluval Bio Enhancer and 3 fish. They all blossomed! I've since added 2 more fish and an aquatic frog. It's been about a month and I haven't lost a single one and they are all healthy and happy. I add a little after weekly…

I was fortunate to realize that this is not an instant fix for an unused tank. There is no fish kill. However, what sets this material apart is the acceleration of the cycle process. I tracked my 10 gallon aquarium until it stayed at 0ppm ammonia, 0ppm nitrite and 5ppm nitrate for 3 days. It took me 24 days to do this with the recommended dose of these fluvial bacteria. A NOTICE. You still need to do water changes when using the aquarium. I didn't until last week and then boom. Cycling ended 4…

This is a great product but MAKE SURE YOU TAKE THE BOTTLE FIRST! Live bacteria settle to the bottom. This isn't a miracle bottle that will run through your tank in a day or two. You MUST still test the water to ensure the cycle is complete. This leap out of the bottle starts with the addition of good bacteria to grow on all surfaces. Growth still takes time. You know you're in a full cycle of the good bacteria eating up the added ammonia in 24 hours. Filling this in and adding the fish right…

This is a great nitrifying bacteria booster to start an aquarium cycle or to replenish bacteria after vacuuming/water changing the substrate. I use it in all my tanks. Fluval is a great brand and their bacteria booster is a lot cheaper than other brands. It even contains bioflakes (they look like small beige dots) that greatly increase the ability of bacteria to multiply. need food in the form of ammonia; which you can provide with a very small drop of pure ammonia (household cleaners), ghost…

Okay, I know how the nitrogen cycle works, but it makes it very difficult to know how your cycle is progressing. I've been trying to loop the tank for over a month but it didn't show anything. I keep reading 0.5ppm ammonia, 0 nitrite and 0 nitrate on a handful of fish (I used Prime to keep the fish healthy, don't worry). So I decided to help the circuit and buy a bottle of this stuff. 24 hours after retesting 0.5ppm ammonia, 0 nitrite and 5ppm nitrate the first time I thought it was too fast to

I used Fluval Cycle Bio on a new 20 gallon aquarium cycle with no fish. From the established aquarium I had no seeds; I bought two java ferns for my aquarium. I was researching how to do the fastest no fish cycle and this happened! :) Day 1: Fluval bacteria dosage as indicated on the bottle. A dose of 4 drops per gallon from Dr. Tim's Ammonia. Add a small amount of fish food. Reduce the water level a few gallons to increase aeration. : 1.0 Day 3: Bacteria dosage as indicated Ammonia: 1.0-1.5…

Just upgraded to 5 stars from an initial 4 star rating now that the product has proven itself! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. . . The aquarium is crystal clear after use, with a large number of new fish in just a few days. I ordered it again right away. This is my new "best buy" for this type of product. **First Review** I used Jungle StartZyme for many years and then tried Tetra SafeStartPlus. They worked really well, but I was looking for a better price/bigger size for "starter" bacteria. FluvalHagen is
