Description
This special bacterial mixture based on spores accelerates and perfects the nitrate breakdown in freshwater and saltwater aquariums.
Aqua Balance contains numerous useful bacterial spores, which quickly and safely break down organic waste produced by fish as well as from dead matter and feed residues. It improves the water quality in the aquarium and promotes the health of the aquarium inhabitants.
Dosage:
- At the beginning: 5 ml of Aqua Balance per 100 l of water per week over a period of four weeks.
- For maintenance: every 14 days 10 ml Aqua Balance in 100 l water.
Please note the following:
- There must be enough anaerobic - low-oxygen - zones in the aquarium because only there can bacteria convert nitrate to nitrogen. Ceramic rings can be helpful here.
- After cleaning and changing filter material and after medication treatment, the use of Aqua Balance is particularly recommended.
- The combination with Special Blend also accelerates the breakdown of pollutants and nitrate.
Available in the following sizes:
- 4 oz. (118 ml)
- 8 oz. (236 ml)
- 16 oz. (473 ml)
- Gallon (3.79 L)

It really works
Rated with 5 out of 5 stars.
So I bought the 3.7 litre of Special Blend and the 3.7 litre Aqua Balance. I've a 2000 litre, mixed reef aquarium. Nitrates were creeping up to around 30-35 ppm, (Salifert) and some of my corals were suffering. I was dosing a mixture of Vinegar, sucrose, and vodka, to reduce nitrates, I was struggling to control the Nitrate, even dosing till there were bacterial strings. Phosphate was controlled at 0.03 with a different product. I switched off Ozone, Uv, totally, And Skimmer for a few hours after dosing., and switched activated carbon reactor off totally. So I started dosing a mixture of special blend and aqua balance as per instructions. Continued for 1 week. No difference in Nitrate readings. I up'ed the dose weekly, still the same readings,
until I was dosing 400mls of aqua balance and 400mls of special blend EVERY MORNING before lights on. Now Remember , when using in saltwater to double the dosage on the instructions. I was expecting bacterial blooms, or cloudiness but there was none. So I checked Nitrate readings after 1 week at 400mls + 400mls dosage. I was loosing hope in the product. Amazingly
Nitrates were at 2 - 5ppm, Phosphate was at 0. (Salifert)(So I added Phosphate).
So I've stopped dosing the 2 for 1 week now , and I will check the readings tomorrow, and start on maintenance dose, and update this review.
