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 MicroBacter Start XLM or MicroBacter Start XLF as appropriate for your aquarium. This product may also be used with MicroBacterCLEAN to cycle a marine aquarium, but the cycle may not be as fast as using the MicroBacter Start. Do not overdose. 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 indiscriminate use of this product. 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 The results you get will be quite different if you use an inferior bacteria culture or one that is out of date or has been stored incorrectly and at harmful temperatures.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 MicroBacter Start XLM, or MicroBacter Start XLF depending on whether you are starting a marine aquarium or a freshwater aquarium. For freshwater, a more economical choice can be made to use either FlorinBacter One, FlorinBacter or FlorinBacter7.
