Shake the bottle well before use to suspend the contents evenly. Add 15 ml Tropic Marin® EcoStart Reef per 2 l fish tank water or synthetic saltwater. Distribute this preparation over the substrate or rock in a suitable tank (2 l = approx. 4 kg) and allow it to rest for 24 hours. The surface to be treated should be covered completely by the prepared water. The substrate or reef rock is then ready for use in the fish tank. To ensure that the bacteria multiply, the tank must not be sealed air-tight and should best be stored at approx. 25-28 °C (77-82 °F).
Note: Use of the product may be accompanied by bacterial bloom, which confirms activation of the rock.
Tropic Marin® EcoStart Reef can also be used in filled tanks. In this case, we recommend a dosage of 15 ml per 100 l fish tank water.
