Tropical Bacto-Active Organic Waste Breakdown & Aquarium Maturation is a highly effective product containing live, selected strains of bacteria responsible for breaking down organic matter.

• Eliminates water cloudiness and unpleasant odours.
• Replenishes bacterial flora after filter cleaning and substrate maintenance.
• Restores biological balance after antibiotic treatments.
• Helps maintain long-term biological stability in the aquarium.

About the Product:

• Contains live cultures of biologically active bacteria that break down organic waste accumulated in the substrate and filters.
• Releases ammonium ions during the decomposition process, stimulating the growth of nitrifying bacteria and accelerating aquarium maturation.
• Ideal for use in newly set up aquariums, established tanks, after water changes, filter replacements, and after fish treatments.
• Regular use enhances water clarity, removes unpleasant odors, and prevents the buildup of organic waste.
• Works synergistically with Tropical Nitro-Active to maintain a healthy biological balance.
