Frequently Asked Questions
Fritz TurboStart 700 contains live nitrifying bacteria that begin working within hours. Most aquarists see ammonia and nitrite processing within 24-48 hours. A full cycle can complete in as little as 3-5 days vs. 4-6 weeks without it.
Refrigeration extends shelf life but isn’t strictly required for short-term storage. Keep it cool and out of direct sunlight. Check the expiration date — live bacteria products lose potency over time. Fresher is always better.
No, you cannot overdose Fritz TurboStart 700. Adding extra bacteria won’t harm fish or plants. Excess bacteria that don’t find a food source (ammonia) simply die off. When in doubt, use more rather than less.
