Description

FritzZyme TurboStart 900 for Saltwater: Ultra Concentrated Live Nitrifying Bacteria

The Original Live Nitrifying Bacteria

  • Rapidly Eliminates Toxic Ammonia and Nitrite
  • Allows Safe Immediate Introduction of Livestock like Live Copepods and Phytoplankon
  • Prevents “New Tank Syndrome”
  • Establishes and Maintains a Healthy Biofilter
  • Prevents Fish Loss – FritzZyme Saves Lives!
  • A Safe, Natural Approach to Water Treatment

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

FritzZyme® TurboStart® 900 contains the same proven strains of effective, Live Nitrifying Bacteria as FritzZyme 9, but at 15 times the concentration. TurboStart 900 also reduces fish loss due to toxic levels of ammonia and nitrite. Establishing colonies of nitrifying bacteria without FritzZyme can take weeks; but FritzZyme TurboStart completely cycles aquariums in five days or less, allowing for safe, immediate addition of livestock. Additionally, TurboStart may be added to new tanks or established systems any time the biofilter needs fortification including; after water changes, aggressive cleaning, adding new livestock, medicating, or changing filter media.

Directions and Usage

  • Chlorine and Chloramines are lethal to FritzZyme® TurboStart® bacteria and must be completely removed before addition. Use any reputable de-chlorinator!
  • Turn off UV sterilizers and Protein Skimmers before use, and for 5 days after each introduction of FritzZyme® TurboStart® 900.
  • Shake bottle, add 1 oz. (29 ml) Turbo Start per 25 gallons (95 L) of water.
  • Add animals after acclimating. Do not overcrowd tank. Do not overfeed.
  • Test water parameters regularly.
  • To decrease cycling time, FritzZyme® TurboStart® 900 can be safely used up to 5x recommended dosage.

PLEASE NOTE: Systems may be slightly cloudy or have an earthy odor for several hours after treatment.

3 reviews for TurboStart 900

  1. Rated 5 out of 5

    Bradley Baron (verified owner) – August 6, 2018

    This is the best bottled bacteria I’ve ever used. The 16 oz bottle helped cycle my 210 gallon tank in just 9 days. Would recommend this to anyone starting up a new tank

  2. Rated 2 out of 5

    Jordan Sims – December 22, 2019

    I was so excited to try Fritz Turbo Start on my new tank. It arrived warm and I was under the impression it should be cold. I followed the directions and added the nitrocycle and turbo start to my sump. It has been about 2 weeks and I still have some ammonia and nitrites. It did jump start my cycle, but I absolutely havent felt comfortable moving my livestock over to it yet. I think it’s a little expensive considering you could start your cycle with any form of ammonia.

  3. Rated 5 out of 5

    matthew.k.wyatt – July 30, 2021

    Best way to jump start that long process of cycling! Cycled my 70gal in one week with this and fritz ammonia.
