Starter Bacteria
The essential first step in establishing a healthy saltwater aquarium. Waterbox Starter Bacteria provides the vital foundation for a stable and thriving saltwater system. This concentrated formula introduces powerful strains of beneficial nitrifying bacteria that jump-start the biological filtration process, converting harmful ammonia and nitrite into the less toxic byproduct nitrate. The result is a balanced ecosystem where your marine life can safely flourish. Designed for use during the initial setup, Starter Bacteria accelerates the establishment of the nitrogen cycle, helping new aquariums become biologically ready in a fraction of the time. We recommend using a fishless cycling method—adding a small amount of fish food as the waste source—allowing these bacteria to naturally colonize your rock, sand, and filtration media without causing harm or stress to livestock. Key Benefits:• Rapidly establishes the biological filtration needed for saltwater aquariums• Converts toxic ammonia
