Freshwater One & Only Live Nitrifying Bacteria Dr. Tim's Aquatics is a freshwater water-care bacteria product designed to help establish beneficial nitrifying bacteria in a new aquarium or after disruptions.

Features:
- Helps control ammonia and nitrite to reduce the risk of New Tank Syndrome during startup
- Used to support bio filtration by establishing nitrifying bacteria
- Helps remove toxic ammonia and nitrite under normal conditions
- Designed to work naturally, with no sulfur or other offensive odors
- Convenient for aquarium maintenance actions such as water changes, filter cleaning, adding new fish, and after disease treatments
