It breaks down organic waste accumulating in substrates and filter media, clearing cloudiness and eliminating odours while keeping biological balance stable over the long term. It suits newly set-up tanks, mature aquariums recovering from disruption, and any system that needs its bacterial flora replenished.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat It Contains\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe formula carries live, selected strains of biologically active bacteria specifically chosen for their ability to decompose organic matter. During the breakdown process, ammonium ions are released, which in turn stimulates the growth of nitrifying bacteria and accelerates the overall maturation of the aquarium.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInitiates and stabilises the nitrogen cycle in new and established aquariums\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBreaks down organic waste built up in substrate and filter media\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClears water cloudiness and removes unpleasant odours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplenishes beneficial bacteria after filter cleaning or substrate maintenance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRestores biological balance following antibiotic or medication treatments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorks alongside Tropical Nitri-Active to significantly shorten aquarium maturation time, allowing fish to be introduced sooner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRegular use prevents organic waste accumulation and supports long-term water clarity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhen to Use It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen setting up a new aquarium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDuring the maturation period of a new tank\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAfter water changes in established systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFollowing periodic filter cleaning or media replacement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen biological balance has been disrupted in a mature aquarium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eTropical Bacto-Active 250ml gives keepers a straightforward, reliable way to keep bacterial populations where they need to be — whether you're cycling a new build or getting an established tank back on track after maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peregrine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54146867921233,"sku":"1VTT040","price":11.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0963\/0403\/8225\/files\/1VTT040_1.jpg?v=1782486918","url":"https:\/\/viperia.co.uk\/products\/tropical-bacto-active-250ml","provider":"Viperia UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
