Fritz Zyme Turbostart 700 Freshwater 1oz

FritzZyme TurboStart 700 Freshwater contains the same proven freshwater strains of effective, live nitrifying bacteria as FritzZyme 7 but at 15 times the concentration. TurboStart 700 reduces fish loss due to toxic levels of ammonia and nitrite. Establishing colonies of nitrifying bacteria without FritzZyme can take weeks; FritzZyme TurboStart completely cycles aquariums in five days or less, allowing for safe, immediate addition of livestock.
