If you don’t immediately add your animals, the cleansing bacteria included in Denitrol will quickly die from lack of food. If you wait a few days before adding the animals (against the advice of these instructions) problems will occur with ammonium/ammonia and nitrite. In the end, the bacteria will not be able to develop and will die off due to a lack of food. As a result the ammonium excreted by the fish will not be broken down. Since no bacteria are present to oxidise ammonium into nitrate in two steps, a nitrite peak will occur despite the application. If the first fish are introduced immediately after the addition of Denitrol, the purification bacteria get food and begin to multiply. This is comparable to an unathletic person who starts doing sports and first has to "train up" his fitness. This ensures that there are enough bacteria right from the start and that neither ammonium/ammonia nor nitrite become a problem when more fish are added. Please always increase the fish stock moderately and only after a few days.
When JBL Detoxol is used free ammonium is bound in the water, which provides immediate relief for the fish. This removal of ammonium also prevents any further nitrate from forming. Any nitrite already present is not bound. If you have high nitrite values, carry out a water change beforehand. A subsequent addition of bacteria will help you maintain a sustainable and biological removal of ammonium and nitrite.
Yes, this is necessary. The bacteria need a little time to settle on the substrate. Until then they are floating freely in the water so that the UV-C radiation can kill them off. It is therefore recommendable to switch off the UV-C clarifier for 48 hours.
No, these bacteria are generally harmless to humans. _x000D_ They can not get into the air, as nitrifying bacteria are generally substrate bound and bound to a medium that is aqueous to at least moist.
The bacteria in the products are contained in a nutrient solution which meets the "minimum requirements", as full-scale metabolism would shorten the shelf life. As long as the bottles are in their original packaging and stored at temperatures between 4-35 °C the shelf life is 18 months. _x000D_ _x000D_ If the liquid is clear or has occasional small brownish flocks, the product is fine. The smell should be barely discernible. If the liquid smells of rotten eggs or if it contains black flakes, the product is no longer suitable for use.
In order to answer this question, we would need to know the current nitrite level and how it has developed in the course of 4 hours after feeding. If the nitrite levels are high, an inhibition of the bacterial decomposition of nitrite may occur. _x000D_ _x000D_ In this case, the following procedure is recommended: _x000D_ _x000D_ 1) Do a large water change in accordance with the nitrite level - at least 50 % if it is over 1.0 mg/l - in order to decrease the current nitrite level. _x000D_ _x000D_ 2) Add a large dose of JBL Denitrol to the tank, around 250 ml per 150 l of tank water. Aerate the tank or set the filter outflow so that it creates enough turbulence to bring in oxygen. The whitish cloudiness caused by the bacteria will disappear within a few hours and the bacteria will then quickly start processing the ammonium/ammonia and nitrite.
Yes, this would be useful. The bacteria, as for example in JBL Denitrol or JBL PROCLEAN BAC, need a little time to settle on the substrate. Until then they are floating freely in the water so that the UV-C radiation can kill them off. It is therefore recommendable to switch off the UV-C device for a day.
No, you need to feed them very sparingly with maximum 25% of the usual amount. The bacteria are adapting to the current water load and may not be overstrained. A slow increase allows the bacteria a stable adaptation to their environment.
After adding JBL Denitrol into initially set up aquariums you can add 1 cm fish per 2 litres of water. You can raise the fish stock after 14 days.
With Denitrol you can add up to five times the amount of a dose.
