Aqueon PURE Live Beneficial Bacteria 12pk
Aqueon PURE provides a simple method to maintain a healthy aquarium ecosystem through live nitrifying bacteria. These beneficial microbes colonize surfaces such as filter media, decorations, and substrate, converting harmful ammonia and nitrite into safer nitrate.
Weekly dosing supports the breakdown of leftover food and debris, reducing the need for frequent filter cleaning. The gel sphere format slowly releases bacteria and enzymes over time, preventing overuse and ensuring optimal performance.
The bacteria remain dormant until needed, minimizing unnecessary activity. When added to the tank, the gel spheres are nearly invisible and work best in a filtered environment.
