Evolution Aqua PURE+ Aquarium Filter Start Gel 500ml – Live Beneficial Bacteria

Help establish healthy biological filtration with Evolution Aqua PURE+ Aquarium Filter Start Gel 500ml, a concentrated live bacteria treatment designed to support the maturation of new aquarium filters.

The specialist gel formula adheres directly to aquarium filter media, allowing beneficial nitrifying bacteria to colonise the surface and establish biological filtration more quickly.

These bacteria help convert harmful ammonia and nitrite, supporting a healthier aquarium environment and reducing the risk of problems associated with immature biological filters.

Ideal for new aquarium setups and filters containing fresh biological media, PURE+ Aquarium Filter Start Gel provides a convenient way to introduce beneficial bacteria directly where they are needed.

How PURE+ Aquarium Filter Start Gel Works

Evolution Aqua PURE+ Aquarium Filter Start Gel contains a concentrated culture of live nitrifying bacteria suspended within a specialist gel.

When applied directly to aquarium filter media, the gel adheres to the surface, allowing beneficial bacteria to begin colonising the filtration material.

These bacteria support the aquarium nitrogen cycle by helping convert ammonia into nitrite and subsequently nitrate.

Establishing an effective biological filter is essential for maintaining suitable aquarium water conditions.

Ideal for New Aquarium Filters

New aquarium filters require time to establish the beneficial bacteria responsible for processing fish waste.

PURE+ Aquarium Filter Start Gel helps introduce these bacteria directly to the filtration media, supporting faster filter maturation.

It can also be useful when introducing new biological media into an existing filtration system.

Supports Ammonia & Nitrite Reduction

Ammonia and nitrite can be harmful to aquarium fish, particularly in newly established aquariums.

Beneficial nitrifying bacteria help process these compounds through the natural nitrogen cycle.

PURE+ Filter Start Gel supports the development of these bacterial populations, helping establish biological filtration.

Directions for Use:

1. Shake the bottle thoroughly before use.
2. Open the aquarium filter according to the manufacturer's instructions.
3. Pour the gel directly onto the biological filter media.
4. Apply enough gel to coat the media, using no more than 125ml for the initial application.
5. Reassemble the filter and ensure normal water circulation.
6. Repeat dosing after approximately 14 days according to the manufacturer's instructions.
7. Provide suitable oxygenation using an air pump and diffuser where possible.
8. Test aquarium ammonia and nitrite levels regularly.

Important: If using a UV-C clarifier, switch it off during dosing and leave it switched off for 12 hours after application.

Supports Biological Filter Development

Regular water testing is essential while establishing a new aquarium.

Although PURE+ Aquarium Filter Start Gel helps introduce beneficial bacteria, aquarium filtration must still be monitored to ensure ammonia and nitrite are being processed effectively.

Only introduce fish when aquarium water parameters are suitable.
