BacterLife is superior in producing cleaner, clearer and safer water, thanks to the unique blend of two bacteria - Heterotrophic bacteria and Autotrophic bacteria, in a formula that is only unique to Waterlife's BacterLife Digests Ammonia & Nitrite product.
Most products contain only Heterotrophic bacteria, which breaks down solid organic waste in the aquarium. However, this process generates ammonia and other soluble nitrogenous compounds such as nitrite, which then require additional filtration system to remove.
However, the risk is ammonia levels would spike temporarily and is harmful to fishes and plants.
With BacterLife Digests Ammonia & Nitrite that contains both Heterotrophic bacteria and Autotrophic bacteria, the Autotrophic bacteria will feed directly on soluble nitrogenous compounds in the water such as ammonia and nitrite.
This means that BacterLife will help break down solid organic wastes in aquarium without any dangerous increases in ammonia levels.
