This approach ensures a safer and more efficient tank cycling experience without endangering aquatic life.

🌟 Key Features and Benefits

• Supplies essential nutrients to support the growth of nitrifying bacteria

• Accelerates the nitrogen cycle in new aquarium setups

• Reduces the risk of ammonia and nitrite spikes

• Compatible with both freshwater and marine environments

• Ideal for use with Brightwell MicroBacter Start XLM or XLF

• Facilitates a safer, fishless cycling process

📦 What's Included

🧴 How to Use

1. Preparation
   Ensure the aquarium is set up with appropriate filtration and water parameters. If using tap water, treat with a dechlorinator to remove chlorine and chloramine.

2. Initial Dosage (Day 1)
   Add 4 drops per gallon (1 mL per 5 gallons) of QuikCycl to the aquarium.

3. Monitoring
   Test ammonia levels to confirm they are between 1–2 ppm. Do not add more QuikCycl if levels are within this range.

4. Bacterial Inoculation
   Introduce a high-quality nitrifying bacterial culture, such as Brightwell MicroBacter Start XLM or XLF, to establish the biological filter.

5. Testing
   Regularly monitor ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate levels to track the cycling progress.

6. Completion
   Once ammonia and nitrite levels reach zero, the aquarium is cycled and ready for livestock introduction.

Important Notes:

• This product is intended for fishless cycling only. Do not use in aquariums containing live fish, plants, or invertebrates until the cycle is complete.

• Always use test kits to monitor water parameters during the cycling process.

• Avoid overdosing, as excessive nutrients can hinder proper cycling.
