Product details
Pure Filter Start Gel – Evolution Aqua is a live, concentrated bacteria culture in a gel form designed for use in new pond filters. It helps coat new filter media so beneficial nitrifying bacteria can colonise the media more quickly, supporting the early stages of filter maturation. In practice, it’s used when setting up a new system to help the filter begin converting harmful nitrogen compounds sooner, which can mean less stress for pond fish while the biological filter establishes.
Features:
- Live, concentrated bacteria culture made to kick-start biological filtration in new pond filters
- Gel-based formulation sticks to filter media, supporting rapid colonisation
- Aims to help speed up filter maturation on coated media
- Supports conversion of ammonia and nitrite during the early cycling period
- Useful for bead filters, including Evolution Aqua’s K1 Micro Bead filters, from day one
- Also suitable for being spread on other common filter media types such as Japanese matting and conventional beads
