API Stress Zyme

Product details

API Stress Zyme is a biological filter additive made to support aquarium filtration in both freshwater and marine systems. It contains live bacteria that help establish and maintain the biological filter by breaking down organic compounds that can interfere with nitrifying bacteria. In practical terms, it’s used during setup to speed biological filter development and during ongoing maintenance to help keep water conditions healthier for fish and other aquarium residents.
