Aquarium Cycle Test with New Fish Tank Using EcoBio-Stone M

When setting up a new tank, your tank will go through new tank syndrome. This process which involves the build-up of waste and then the subsequent build-up of beneficial microbes until a natural balance is reached can take months to complete with the result finally being clear, healthy water for your fish. EcoBio-Block speeds up this natural process with its special strains of beneficial bacteria which disperse into the water every 30 minutes.

Our two week diary of a new tank set up with EcoBio-Stone. Cycle was complete in 2 weeks!

		2 DAYS LATER checked water parameters Ammonia: 0.5 Nitrite: 0.1 Nitrate: 2.5 note: fish are healthy and have good appetites.

Aquarium cycle completed in 2 weeks

Tank is crystal clear and fish are healthy from the beginning.

2 weeks later	ammonia: 0                 nitrite: 0                 nitrate: very low

After placing EcoBio-Block in the tank or pond, the length of time for the water to stabilize depends on the condition of the tank, pond or other type of water features, as well as varying conditions, such as temperature, water quality, amount of fish, kinds of fish etc. To be certain that the water has stabilized, test water quality.
