SKU: N/A

Price: $7.99

Prevents fish loss by controlling ammonia and nitrite. Rapidly matures new aquariums and helps maintain biological balance--creating a safe and healthy aquatic environment. Eleven pure strains of micro-organisms combine to create Cycle's powerful biological reduction team. Cycle is the most highly concentrated preparation of living bacteria--500 billion per dose. The unique processing technology ensures the bacteria in the bottle are dormant. Many other products are still active when packaged, requiring nutrients and oxygen to survive. Often, they have already started their life cycle in the bottle before being added to the aquarium. Cycle's bacteria are dormant and will generally remain suspended for long periods of time. A minimum shelf life of two years is guaranteed. Cycle uses a team approach to complete toxin reduction. Cycle exploits complex interrelationships between bacteria types. Ammonia and nitrite reduction will be dramatically increased. The team has been expanded through research to improve performance in every area. Cycle is biased toward nitrobacter. Nitrobacter is the weakest nitrifying bacteria and the most difficult to grow. As Cycle has evolved over the past decade, the ratio of nitrobacter in the bottle has been optimized. The result is faster nitrite reduction, requiring less time to cycle new aquariums. Dangerous nitrite peaks are reduced with less stress on fish. The only way to make sure the correct number and types of bacteria are available is to inoculate the aquarium with them. Current research indicates the minimum level to initiate competitive exclusion starts at 100 billion bacteria per milliliter on a regular inoculation schedule. Only Cycle and Bio Care products reach this remarkable concentration. Bacteria are the most predated living sector. Bacterial populations evolve and change over time. The best way to ensure the right bacteria are available at the right time is to continuously inoculate with the desired strains. Weekly Cycle addition biases the aquarium towards nitrosomonas and nitrobacter, making it inhospitable for invading strains and even algae. Over time, these are the bacteria which become dominant. They ensure the overall aquatic environment has the best possible water conditions and strongest disease resistance possible for your swimming pets. Cycle is non-pathogenic and will not harm plants, animals, or humans. It is impossible to overdose. For fresh and salt water.
