Ammonia is formed in a toxic form\u003cbr\u003e\nwhen the pH is above 7,4. In a biological filter bacteria convert\u003cbr\u003e\nammonia via nitrite into nitrate. For this conversion two kinds of\u003cbr\u003e\nbacteria are needed. The first group converts ammonia into nitrites,\u003cbr\u003e\nthese bacteria are also called ‚‚¹AOB‚‚¾‚. The second group converts\u003cbr\u003e\nnitrite into nitrate, these bacteria are also called ‚‚¹NOB‚‚¾‚.\u003cbr\u003e\nBoth processes take place with the use of oxygen; hence it is\u003cbr\u003e\nimportant that the water flowing through the filter is rich in oxygen.\u003cbr\u003e\nBactoPlus Filter Starter (gel) contains both AOB and NOB and in high\u003cbr\u003e\nquantities. During production 800 million bacteria per ml. are added\u003cbr\u003e\nto the products. Use these products when starting a new filter, after\u003cbr\u003e\nmaintenance andwhen having problems with the water quality. When\u003cbr\u003e\nthe filter is easy to access and the filter media can be set dry,\u003cbr\u003e\nthe Gel version of the product can be applied directly to the filter\u003cbr\u003e\nmedia, which is enhancing the effect.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bacto-Plus","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56946155684188,"sku":"MD842","price":72.84,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1006\/4320\/9564\/files\/bactoresized1_5437d2ec-7596-4b24-ae08-8eb361fefa80.jpg?v=1773004064","url":"https:\/\/www.southcoastkoiandaquatics.co.uk\/products\/bacto-plus-2-5ltr","provider":"Southcoast Koi and Aquatics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
