Bacteria are maintained at a low metabolic rate by restricting access to certain limiting factors required for metabolism. Since most species of bacteria are somewhat symbiotic, and tend to colonize a surface in succession, the process of cycling" an aquarium is facilitated by the close proximity of the immobilized species. Some types of bacteria reduce nitrogenous waste by metabolic oxidation while others incorporate nitrogen into bacterial biomass during rapid growth.
Gradually introduce fish within the first 3 weeks, and do not exceed one inch of fish per 5 gallons during this time.Īrag-Alive!" achieves rapid cycling by preparing and seeding the substrate grain surfaces with a wide variety of marine bacteria, most in a spored state, including strains engineered for maximum waste reduction capacity. Live rocks and most invertebrates can be added immediately. Arag-Alive!" creates a natural biological balance, and makes cycling a new aquarium faster and safer. Arag-Alive!" compresses new tank cycle time and suppresses the initial ammonia spike. Only CaribSea's Arag-Alive!" Live Sands contains not just the broad spectrum of natural marine bacteria found in the ocean, but additional specially selected strains of marine bacteria as well. All Arag-Alive!" products help maintain the pH of natural seawater. Arag-Alive!" natural aragonite substrates are engineered for different performance characteristics, and each with it's own unique look.
