FAQ

Can I use Bacto Therapy together with Coral Vitality?

Yes! Both products work synergistically. Nutrient limitation and feeding of bacteria and corals can be supported. When combining both products, use only 50% of the recommended dosage for each and monitor nutrients closely.

Should I turn off UV-C or ozonation during the dosing of Bacto Therapy?

Yes! Both devices affect the microbial content of the water and would kill the live bacteria in Bacto Therapy. Turn off ozone and UV-C for 2-3 hours after dosing. After this time, the bacteria will have settled on the substrate, ensuring their safety and the effectiveness of Bacto Therapy.

Do the bacteria also work against cyanobacteria deposits?

Yes! Bacto Therapy can be successfully used to combat cyanobacteria infestations.

It includes special phototrophic bacteria that ensure stable and highly effective nutrient breakdown. All our bacteria are sourced from German facilities and are safe to use.Bacto Therapy, on the other hand, is a mix of specific bacteria focusing more on breaking down solid nutrients like sludge and detritus. It combats unwanted films and bacteria (e.g., cyanobacteria). It can also be used against dinoflagellates.Additionally, added probiotic bacterial cultures reduce water odor and pathogenic germs, enhancing the resilience of your livestock.Can I use Bacto Blend and Bacto Therapy together?Both products complement each other perfectly and are designed to work together. The recommended mixing ratio is 60% Bacto Blend and 40% Bacto Therapy.Can I use Bacto Blend together with Coral Vitality?Yes! Both products work well together.

When combining the two products, use only 50% of the recommended dosage for each and monitor nutrient levels.Do I need to turn off UV-C or ozone systems when dosing Bacto Blend?Yes! Both devices impact the bacterial count in the water and would kill the live bacteria in Bacto Blend. Turn off ozone and UV-C systems for 2-3 hours after dosing. By then, the bacteria will have settled on the substrate, and there will be no further risk to them or the effectiveness of Bacto Blend.What time of day should I dose Bacto Blend?Bacto Blend, as well as Bacto Therapy or their combined use, can be dosed during the day. We recommend dosing both products in the morning.
