FritzZyme Turbo Start 900 1oz

Product details

FritzZyme Turbo Start 900 1oz (80511) is a live nitrifying bacteria product for saltwater aquariums, formulated to rapidly seed and strengthen the biofilter. In practice, it helps reduce harmful ammonia and nitrite, supporting safer conditions after starting a tank or when beneficial bacteria populations need to be rebuilt. The product is designed for use when cycling would otherwise take weeks, aiming to help shorten the time to establish nitrification.

Features:

• Contains live nitrifying bacteria strains intended to establish ammonia- and nitrite-processing colonies in aquarium systems
• TurboStart 900 is described as having the same proven nitrifying bacteria as FritzZyme 9, but at 15 times the concentration
• Helps reduce fish loss associated with toxic ammonia and nitrite levels during cycling
• Can be used to fortify biofilters in new tanks or established systems when additional nitrifying capacity is needed
• Useful after water changes, aggressive cleaning, adding new livestock, medicating, or changing filter media
• Positioned as a true nitrifying bacteria product: nitrifying bacteria are described as fragile and temperature-sensitive, unlike some heterotrophic bacteria that can persist in spore states
• Packaged for viability, with an expiration date and a 4-month refrigerated shelf life to help maintain effectiveness
