Bacter Boost provides a growth medium for subcultures. These subcultures will provide a food supply for the larger macro cultures (fish, coral, etc.), and the subculture will also provide beneficial gases such as O2 and CO2 proportionally. When Bacter Boost is added to a new aquarium, 48 hours is generally the amount of time it takes to provide the necessary metabolic environment for the larger species. When adding Bacter Boost to an established aquarium, it will fill in the missing blanks of the food chain through a process of water ion transfer. Filling in the blanks equates to an improved healthier environment.Boosts the biologicals of an established aquarium to maintain an ongoing cycle Organically breaks down solid and soluable wasteBacter Boost is 100% organicThe quality nature of the formulation will not interfere with any of the other additives within the aquarium when addedA 6 oz. bottle will treat 600 gallons of aquarium volume
