Fishless Cycling
The term “fishless cycling” refers to the process of establishing the nitrifying bacteria in a newly set-up aquarium without using fish which are used in the traditional cycling method. The problem associated with using fish in the cycling period is that normally, when establishing the nitrifying bacteria in a new aquarium, the ammonia and nitrite concentrations can get so high that the fish may die.
How Our Products Work
DrTim’s Aquatics offers a variety of products, most bacterial-based. For maximum effectiveness some products should not be added together to the aquarium on the same day. This allows the bacteria in a specific product to work without competition from the bacteria in other products.
