BIOSTARTER A&B
Nutrients for heterotrophic bacterial flora
A condition necessary for the development and proliferation of organisms bred in aquariums is a low concentration of nutrients.
Particularly in marine barrier aquariums, in order to allow for the correct growth of hard coral, it’s necessary to maintain the Phosphate (PO4) concentration below 0.01 ml per litre and Nitrates (NO3) below 3 ml per litre.
Bacteria families(Bacillus) called heterotrophs and selected enzymes exist which, during their lifecycle metabolise the phosphates and nitrates present in their environment, absorbing them into their biomass, in this way, noticeably lowering the concentration of nutrients.BIO-STARTER A & B constitute the correct nutrients based on organic carbon, specifically for heterotrophic bacterial flora, introduced by treatment with BIO-EXTRA. Guaranteeing the heterotrophic bacterial flora adequate nutrition causing an exceptional proliferation and as a result, the efficiency of the elimination of nutrients.
During the treatment with BIO-EXTRA, BIO-STARTER A & B it is necessary to assure an adequate foam, allowing the removal of excess bacteria from the water, and through this, the nutrients accumulated.

ADVANTAGES
- Amplifying the efficiency of the heterotrophic bacterial flora for the lowering of the concentration of nutrients in the aquarium.
- Reducing the pollution contributes to inhibiting the proliferation of pathogenic micro-organisms;
- Innocuous for both flora e fauna.
