Aqua-Pics Bacta-Boost 1lt — Fish-room size liquid bacteria for several systems

A fish room running a dozen tanks goes through biological starter faster than any single-display dosing schedule, and restocking small bottles weekly is its own chore. Aqua-Pics Bacta-Boost 1lt (SKU: 100932) is the one-litre size of Aqua-Pics’ concentrated liquid beneficial bacteria supplement, carrying what the maker describes as a markedly higher bacteria count than many comparable brands, and formulated to supply the microbes and enzymes that break down fish waste and convert ammonia and nitrite through to nitrate. It works across fresh and salt water, and this size is built for cycling and maintaining several aquariums from one bottle.

The dosing schedule is the same as for the smaller bottles: 5 mL per 25 L on day one for a new set-up, then 5 mL per 50 L every 7 to 14 days or with each water change once the tank has settled. Nitrate from the ammonia-and-nitrite pathway is left to plants and routine water changes, the normal division between a liquid nitrifier and complete water management. Aqua-Pics states that 1 L treats up to 10,000 L of aquarium water, so the 1 L bottle covers that figure directly across a full dosing programme, enough to cycle several new tanks or keep a working fish room’s biofilters topped up for an extended stretch before buying again.

Usage & Application

When to Use

• Fish rooms and multiple tanks: One bottle dosed across several systems rather than per-tank purchases.
• Cycling new systems: The day-one dose seeds the biofilter in several new set-ups at once.
• Routine maintenance: Keeps a working bank of tanks topped up on a shared schedule.
• Fresh or marine tanks: A single formula across any water type in the room.

Dosing & Administration Guide

• New tank: 5 mL per 25 L on day one, dosed per system.
• Maintenance rate: 5 mL per 50 L every 7 to 14 days, or with water changes.
• Track usage per tank: Measure doses against each system’s own volume, not a room-wide estimate.
• Shake before each use: Resuspend settled bacteria before drawing a dose.
