How to use Start Up

Part of managing nitrate and phosphate levels — see our guide to Nitrate & Phosphate for why these two parameters are tracked together.

Compatibility

Freshwater and saltwater, and both new set-ups and tanks being restarted after a strip-down.

The kit is two Prodibio products used together. BioDigest supplies the nitrifying, denitrifying and facultative bacteria that start the nitrogen cycle; Stop Ammo is a plant extract that traps the ammonia while they are getting established, so the fish are not exposed to it in the meantime. One BioDigest ampoule treats up to 1,000 litres, one Stop Ammo ampoule up to 200 litres, and each is dosed every 15 days.

For marine tanks Prodibio state that a third of the hardy fish can go in 12 hours after dosing.

Opening an ampoule. Shake it. Snap the cap off one tip, turn the ampoule over, snap the other end, and pour the contents into the tank.

Pack Size

Thirty 1 ml ampoules: 15 BioDigest and 15 Stop Ammo. This is Prodibio's Kit 30, the largest in the range.

At the fortnightly dose that is fifteen fortnights — a bit over a year of both products for one tank.
