Product Description
Nature at Home – Home for fish and plantsFish and invertebrates need to feel as much at home in the aquarium as in the wild Transform your aquarium water into biotope-like water to protect your aquarium dwellers.

Add the water conditioner to the aquarium water, continue with the bacteria starter 15 minutes later. Then insert fish
Water conditioner removes harmful substances from tap water and starter adds pollutant-decomposing bacteria
Without bacteria starter an accumulation of toxic ammonia and nitrite occurs
Ideal for freshwater aquariums with fish, shrimps and turtles
Contents: 1 x 15 ml water conditioner JBL Biotopol and 1 x 15 ml bacteria starter JBL Denitrol for 10-60 l aquarium water
Product Description
Tap water often contains heavy metals and sometimes chlorine which is harmful for fish and invertebrates. The water conditioner JBL Biotopol helps to bind heavy metals and to neutralise chlorine. For these effects the water conditioner needs about 15 minutes. Then the aquarium starter JBL Denitrol should be added to supply beneficial cleansing bacteria to the aquarium which are not initially present there. Only with the help of cleansing bacteria can fish excrements be broken down effectively. That's why the fish stock can be added directly after the use of JBL Denitrol.
Use: shake disposable cartridge, open and put entire content into the aquarium. Ideal for 60-200 litres freshwater
Always use after: water change, filter cleaning, medication and adding of new fish
Breaks down ammonium/ammonia and nitrite. Supports the filter and reduces sludge (dirt on the ground)
Package contents: 1 disposable cartridge with 50 ml concentrate of living cleansing bacteria for freshwater aquariums
Bacteria are not always negative organisms! In the soil and in the water, they are among the most important and useful helpers for such activities as removing toxins or converting them into harmless substances. Several JBL bacterial products contain highly concentrated bacterial strains designed for such purposes as converting problematic nitrogen compounds, such as ammonium (NH4), ammonia (NH3) and nitrite into harmless nitrogen compounds (nitrate (NO3) or nitrogen gas (N2)). Live bacterial cultures in JBL products like JBL ProClean Bac, JBL Denitrol, JBL FilterStart and JBL FilterBoost can't overdose! This is because the bacteria may be added in over-concentration, but the survival of the bacteria is linked to the available nutrients. If, for example, a lot of ammonium is present, many bacteria can live on it and reproduce. If there is hardly any ammonium, only a part of the bacteria will survive. Here, supply and demand regulate the number of bacteria.
Various strains of water cleaning bacteria (nitrosomonas, nitrobacter and others) in buffer solution. All bacteria belong to the risk class R1.
