Aqua-Pics Bacta-Boost D 100g — Bulk dry starter bacteria for multiple tanks

A household or small fish room with several tanks on the go needs starter bacteria in a size that outlasts more than one cycle. Aqua-Pics Bacta-Boost D 100g (SKU: 724824) is the largest pack in Aqua-Pics’ dry bio-starter range, a 100% natural ammonia and nitrite reducer the maker describes as super concentrated, supplying the beneficial microbes and enzymes that break down fish waste and convert ammonia and nitrite into nitrate. It is suited to both fresh and salt water, and 100 g is sized for cycling several tanks or keeping a working stock on hand rather than treating a single aquarium once.

The dosing schedule is unchanged across pack sizes: one level teaspoon, about 3 g, per 100 to 300 L as the first dose, then a half teaspoon, about 1.5 g, per 100 to 300 L twice weekly for 4 to 8 weeks, repeated with each water change afterwards. Nitrate produced as ammonia and nitrite are processed is left to plants and regular water changes, as with any biological starter rather than a full water conditioner. A complete course for one tank uses roughly 15 to 27 g across the initial and maintenance doses, which puts a 100 g pack at around four full starter courses, enough to cycle several new aquariums over time or to keep a fish room supplied through repeated restarts.

Usage & Application

When to Use

• Multiple new tanks: 100 g covers roughly four full starter courses.
• Fish rooms and breeders: A working stock for tanks cycled and restarted through the year.
• After disruption: Rebuilding biofilters across several systems after medication or power loss.
• Fresh or marine tanks: One dry formula across every tank type on hand.

Dosing & Administration Guide

• First dose: 1 level teaspoon (about 3 g) per 100 to 300 L of water.
• Twice-weekly maintenance: 1/2 teaspoon (about 1.5 g) per 100 to 300 L, for 4 to 8 weeks.
• Repeat with changes: Continue the maintenance dose at each water change on each tank.
• Measure per tank: Dose by each system’s own volume rather than a shared estimate.
