Evolution Aqua Pure Aquarium - for a Crystal Clear Healthy Aquarium (50 balls)

Product Information

Helps support your filter's performance - Helps to reduce the risk of poor water quality when the filter is still maturing or when adding new fish How are you adding Ammonia into your tank? This is usually done by either adding pure Ammonia, or by adding fish food, which breaks down into Ammonia when uneaten.

Anyways, moving on to my actual suggestion to cycling your tank. Since you want the tank to be specifically for discus, which allegedly prefer more acidic water, just make sure that when cycling you set your pH to where you want it to be as if you already have discus in. A lot of guides may suggest raising pH during the cycle, and that definitely should be what is done for fish the (allegedly) prefers higher pH, but not for those with lower pH requirements.

Regular use of PURE Aquarium will ensure that your fish live in a safe, healthy and crystal clear environment. With over 20,000 million live bacteria per litre of Pure Aquarium, your aquarium will shine, especially if you replenish them monthly. The Pure bacteria balls are made from a biodegradable polymer, and crammed full of bacteria that are slowly released when they are needed most smoothing out the peaks and troughs in your ammonia/nitrite cycle. PURE AQUARIUM BOMB is a natural product therefore it is perfectly normal that the ball may vary in size, colour and opacity. The colour of the liquid in the tub may also vary due to the nature of the product. None of this will affect the performance of the product. There are plenty of articles that will explain the Nitrogen cycle, but I'll try to give you a cut down version and some pointers for next steps. Although incredibly hard to bottle the autotrophs essential for filters, it’s very easy to preserve heterotrophs. Although not realistically possible, overdosing the product could overwhelm existing filters and replace existing biological activity. However, this would require huge amounts!

Dosage is open to debate and one to two balls per 25 l/ 5.5 gal for routine maintenance is usually recommended. It’s hardly a precision measurement, accounting for any variances between balls. To maintaincrystal clear, healthy water add 1 or 2PURE Aquarium balls per 25 litres of water once a week. Add the balls directly into your aquarium or inside the aquarium filter. So what we want to achieve is enough Beneficial Bactiera ( BB) that can convert that Ammonia into something called Nitrite, which is also harmful to fish. There's a different type of BB that will convert Nitrite into Nitrate, which CAN still be toxic to fish, but not until a much higher concentration. No but that's ok. So his advice makes a little more sense now. Those balls actually slow release Ammonia and the Beneficial Bacteria over the course of ~2 weeks; he probably didn't overload you with the information about the Nitrogen cycle, as it's a lot to be hit with in one sitting. When you say you "put them all in", what do you mean? You shouldn't have needed to add more than one.
