START UP combines STOP AMMO and BIODIGEST in the same-package. The-pack enables you to quickly get biological filtration underway and to introduce the first fish within a few hours. STOP AMMO is made from plant extracts which are chosen for their capacity to trap ammonia nitrogen. One of STOP AMMO'S properties is that it reduces nitrite production when a new aquarium is being started up with a specific adapted concentration. BIODIGEST is made up of nitrifying, nitrate reducing and facultative bacterial strains selected for their ability to convert ammonia into nitrites, nitrites into nitrates and nitrates into nitrogen. These bacteria (50 billion in each 1ml ampoule) work together with each strain finishing off the work started by the others. The products combined in START UP work together to enable you to quickly introduce 1/3 of your toughest fish into your new aquarium (after 4 hours for freshwater tanks and 12 hours for marine water tanks)
