Start Up Kit
Combines live bacteria & ammonia protection for faster, safer startups.
For saltwater and freshwater systems.
This live bacteria seeding kit allow faster biological filtration establishment
The beneficial bacteria begin working immediately upon contact with oxygen in water, with no latency period or need for reactivation.
BioDigest
BioDigest contains natural nitrifying, denitrifying, and facultative bacterial strains selected for their ability to rapidly initiate the nitrogen cycle, transforming ammonia into nitrites, nitrites into nitrates, and nitrates into nitrogen. These bacteria work as a team, with each strain completing the work started by others.
Stop Ammo
Stop Ammo is formulated with specific plant extracts that trap nitrogen from ammonia and transform it into harmless compounds.
Stable From Day One
BioDigest’s beneficial bacteria strains cannot digest the ammonia held by Stop Ammo, so the two products actually complement each other, jump-starting the nitrogen cycle, establishing stable biological filtration, and enabling you to add fish into the system as soon as possible. in saltwater systems, it will allow you to introduce one-third of your most robust fish into a new aquarium after only 12 hours.
When should you use Start Up Kit?
- If you are starting a freshwater or saltwater aquarium.
- If you are renovating a running aquarium.

Collapsible content
LIGHT
LOW: Place coral at the bottom of the tank. Depending on the type, coral may need to be placed off sand and therefore mounted on a ceramic disc of piece of rock.
MEDIUM: Place coral at mid-range of the tank. Best placed/glued on top of a rock scape at mid-range height.
HIGH: Place coral from mid range to just below water level. SPS coral are shallow growing so they require and are able to tolerate intense light.
FLOW
LOW: Most soft coral do well with a small, gentle pulse. There are certain corals that can even be placed in areas of indirect flow, meaning places aside a rock structure or set into a entrance to a cave style space.
MEDIUM: Many LPS types of coral prefer medium pulse current. Most Euphyllia or corals that have more tissue structure connected to their skeleton, don’t like to be in a high flow area like the direct flow of the wave pump.
HIGH: Similar to high light, SPS enjoy being in some heavy current. Most LPS and SPS that branch encrust or plate prefer high flow that simulates the top water waves.
SKILL
ENTRY: While some may say beginner level, "Entry" is a good term to be used when starting out in the world of corals and marine life. Prior to adding livestock, you want to ensure that your reef has the proper parameters including zero levels of ammonia and nitrite. Seeing traces of nitrate in your waters is a good sign - just keep them at a lower level of 2ppm to 10ppm. Maintaining correct temperature and salinity are a huge factor to stable parameters. Starting to monitor your PH, alkalinity, calcium and magnesium is a great habit to get into to keep a successful reef.
While some soft coral don’t require too much light, having a proper reef light that puts out the proper pars is very important. You'll also want to have a good amount of flow and protected rock areas, as placing corals in their happy spot is ideal for success.
