API QUICK START

My old aquarium started leaking at the sides so I had to replace it in a hurry. Besides using the same filter media in the new tank that was used in the old tank, I started from scratch with everything else in the tank. I bought this Quickstart product in hopes I can avoid going through the long cycling process that's hard on fish. After filling the new tank I added the amount stated on the bottle, and adding a smaller amount with each weekly water change. It's been about a month and my new aquarium has remained crystal clear the entire time without any signs of bacterial bloom or cloudiness, I've also been using water test strips and so far the water quality has remained good. While I'm sure using previously used filter media helped, there have been times before when I've upgraded to new tanks and the water still would become cloudy even with a previously used filter so I feel like this product definitely made a difference. I originally purchased it to help with the initial cycling but now I plan to continue using it when doing larger water changes or when replacing the filter media.

Doesnt stink, haven’t seen any issues. More concentrated than past brands.

Works fast, keeps ammonia and nitrite in check, and makes new tank setups stress‑free. Great for both freshwater and saltwater. Highly recommend.

Gives confidence for fish health

I just buy all API products, I chose this size because I have a 75gallon size tank, so my products need to last for awhile.

The API QUICK START for freshwater and saltwater aquariums is a total game-changer—especially if you're setting up a new tank or adding fish to an existing one. It makes the nitrogen cycle process way less stressful, both for you and your fish. I used it when starting a new freshwater setup, and within 24 hours my tank was safe and stable. No ammonia spikes, no nitrite issues—it genuinely helps establish the biological filter FAST. It's also great to use after water changes, adding new fish, or cleaning the filter. What I love is that it’s super easy to use—just shake and pour. The bottle gives clear instructions, and the results speak for themselves. My fish were active and healthy from day one. This is one of those products you always want on hand. It helps create a healthy environment and gives peace of mind whether you're a beginner or a seasoned aquarist.

It is what it says it is. A very good product that I will purchase again if needed.

its awesome for fish tanks and it lights up my aquarium with beautiful clear water

Its good to rapidly reduce ammonia

Highly effective Improves water quality by maintaining bacterial colonies Easy to use... Rather than other products. Must to stepup a new tank.. also it is good to add once in month so replenish the bacterial colonies

Helped us speed up aquarium set up and cycle time. Little to no odour. Very pleased with how it worked to jumpstart a bacterial culture. Highly Recommend!

Good

Great price quality first class
