Overview
READ ALL BEFORE BEGINNING! Caution:
Contains Ammonia, Keep out of reach of children. Not for human consumption. If swallowed, contact a poison control center immediately.
NOTE:
THIS PRODUCT IS DESIGNED FOR FISHLESS CYCLING. DO NOT EVER PUT INTO AN
AQUARIUM containing LIVE FISH, PLANTS, OR INVERTEBRATES. ADD
ANIMALS AFTER CYCLING IS COMPLETE!!! This product alone will not cycle
an aquarium, it simply provides the nutrients. You must use a good
quality bacterial culture to establish the bacteria bed in the aquarium. We highly recommend
Brightwell MicrōBacter Start XLM or
MicrōBacter Start XLF as appropriate for your aquarium. This product may also be used with
MicrōBacterCLEAN to cycle a marine aquarium, but the cycle may not be as fast as using the
MicrōBacter Start.
DO NOT OVERDOSE, EVER! Be patient, your animals lives are at stake!
You
must use test kits to measure pH, ammonia, nitrite and nitrate to
complete cycling on an aquarium. If you attempt to cycle the tank
without proper testing, you are asking for disaster and will likely kill
your fish. Brightwell is not responsible for indescriminate use of this
product! We recommend that you read up on aquarium cycling so that you know what it is all about. Please also consult our website at
www.brightwellaquatics.com for more information.
This product requires simultaneous use with a LIVE BACTERIAL CULTURE:
Bacteria products for aquarium use vary widely in characteristics,
strength and overall design. The results you get will be quite different
if you use an inferior bacteria culture or one that is out of date or
has been stored incorrectly and at harmful temperatures. Nitrifying
bacteria is damaged by heat and outright killed by freezing, so care
must be taken to preserve its efficacy. If the bacterial product you use
is dead, then this whole process will not work! Brightwell highly
recommends that you use either
MicrōBacter Start XLM, or
MicrōBacter Start XLF depending on whether you are starting a marine aquarium or a freshwater aquarium.
