FritzZyme 9 Saltwater Nitrifying Bacteria

Introduction

FritzZyme 9 Saltwater Nitrifying Bacteria is a powerful biological supplement designed to quickly establish the nitrogen cycle in saltwater aquariums. It contains live, naturally occurring nitrifying bacteria that convert harmful ammonia and nitrite into less toxic nitrate. Specially formulated for saltwater environments, FritzZyme 9 helps kick-start biological filtration in new setups, supports recovery during water quality cycling, and aids overstocked or heavily fed tanks. It is especially useful in new aquariums without established bacterial colonies or after tank cleaning or medication treatments.

Features

• Rapid Nitrogen Cycle Establishment: Accelerates the cycling process by introducing saltwater-specific nitrifying bacteria, reducing the time needed for biological stability.

• Live Nitrifying Bacteria: Contains Nitrosomonas and Nitrobacter species to convert ammonia to nitrite and nitrite to nitrate effectively.

• Safe for Fish and Invertebrates: Prevents new tank syndrome and reduces ammonia and nitrite toxicity risks, making it safe for immediate stocking of fish and corals.

• Shelf-Stable: Does not require refrigeration, ensuring long-lasting viability and ease of use.

• Suitable for Maintenance and New Setups: Ideal for new tanks as well as established aquariums needing bacterial supplementation after water changes, filter cleanings, or medication.

Usage

• New Tank Setup:

  • Shake well before use.

  • Add 4 oz (118 ml) per 10 gallons of aquarium water after dechlorination.

  • Dose directly into the aquarium or filter system.

  • Stock fish gradually to allow bacteria to establish.

• Existing Tanks:

  • Use 2 oz (59 ml) per 10 gallons following large water changes, filter cleanings, or stress events.

  • Monitor ammonia and nitrite levels; re-dose as necessary.

• Maintenance Dosing:

  • Periodically add 1 oz per 10 gallons to maintain biological filtration.

Available Sizes

• 237 ml

• 473 ml

• 946 ml

• 3.78 L

Recommendations

• New Aquariums: Recommended for speeding up the cycling process, reducing ammonia and nitrite spikes, and enabling faster livestock introduction.

• Established Tanks: Helps maintain a stable biological filter, especially after tank cleanings or increased fish populations.

• New Stock: Use when adding fish to prevent ammonia spikes by ensuring a strong nitrifying bacteria presence.

• Convenient and Safe: Easy to use, shelf-stable, and safe for all saltwater aquarium inhabitants.

• Pairing: Use alongside Fritz dechlorinators or other compatible water conditioners that preserve beneficial bacteria for best results.
