Description
Please note that the product information displayed is provided by manufacturers, suppliers and other third parties and is not independently verified by Petco.
Aqueon Pure Live Beneficial Bacteria and Enzymes are here to save the day! These handy little gel balls are packed with live beneficial bacteria that convert harmful ammonia and nitrite to less toxic nitrate, resulting in clearer water and happier fish.
- - The unique sphere design provides surfaces for the bacteria and enzymes to reside until conditions are ideal for them to work their magic
- - This "time release" formula means you can't overdose on PURE, so feel free to add it weekly without worry
- - Got a new aquarium? No problem - just add two PURE balls per 10 gallons of tank water to get things off to a good start
- - Worried about excess waste from overfeeding or detritus in the tank? PURE breaks it down, reducing the need for filter maintenance
- - Safe for all freshwater aquariums, so don't hesitate to give your fishy friends the benefits of live beneficial bacteria!
- - While PURE doesn't dissolve completely, any small leftover bits will go unnoticed and be removed during water changes

Questions
Can this product be used with a UV sterilizer?
- Hi! We appreciate you writing to us. You can use it if you are using a UV sterilizer. Enough of it will be resident in the tank and not get pumped thru the UV. If you would like more information, please call our friendly Consumer Care team at 1-888-255-4527.

Hello, I know it states safe for all freshwater...but... CAN you safely use this in saltwater/reef? Thank you! Nick
- Hey Nick! Our sister company Coralife has actually launched a saltwater version of PURE! We recommend using that for your saltwater/reef set up.

How much would you use for a 2.5 gallon air filtered tank?
- I would add one of the 10 gallon sized orbs for every three or four water changes….But they are solid, so they do not contain liquid, meaning that you can cut them into smaller pieces as well. And since you are using an air filter - by that I assume you mean a sponge filter? - you will definitely want to do changes/vacuuming fairly often as the bacteria will be there but there is no mechanical filtration. But the orbs are also solid, so you can cut them into smaller pieces as well. Best of luck!

I’m trying to cycle a 10 gal fish tank. I have been adding your biological booster for a month now and nothing is happening. The ammonia is holding steady at .5 ppm and I’m not seeing any nitrites. Is there a way I can test to see if there are actually live bacteria in the booster. I’ve checked everything else I can think of.
I have recently used medication in my 50 gal freshwater fish tank with one 22 year old comet goldfish in it . the meds cured my fish but must have killed my beneficial Bacteria as now my established tank has been going through another nitrogen cycle. It's been four weeks now the ammonia us back to zero so is nitrite zero BUT my nitrates are now spiked about 80 and the water is cloudy. Did 2 partial water changes over the last 8 days. Will a UV sterilizer help ?? Please advise. Thanks Lina

Hello i have a fish tank 45l with 11 fishes in it (Shubunkin , opaline gourami , honey gourami , trichogaster etc) . i added the fish a week ago and tested the water and it was fine.today i see that 2 of my Scalars aren't eating like everyone else , so i tested the water . Everything was fine except for Nitrite levels that was 3.0 - 5.0 ppm. I changed 25 % of the water and added Easy Life Filter Medium and after some hours i tested again the water quality and it was the same I also added salt
He's a full grown betta fish, I've had him for a little over half a year, adopted him from a friend. He has a filter and a heater in his tank & I try to stick with recommended products. As of the last couple months, his fins are curling up in the back and he will only eat one pellet every other day or so. I had been feeding him three pellets twice daily. Last week I started cleaning his 1 gallon tank twice a week instead of once a week, and am considering upgrading to a 2.5 gallon tank instead.
Hello! I want to give my kitty probiotics with her antibiotics and after the course as well . I have one that has only lactobacillus acidophilus and bifidobacteruim longus ( 5 billion cfu each ) is this enough to help her ? Or is it better to get something with more strains ? Also , is it true that it's best to give in between meals because they get destroyed in stomach acids ? (I am not interested in fortiflora or other commonly prescribed reccs ,,Thank you !!
After using metronidazole 400mg×2 tablets in 75 litre aquarium tank, my two parrot fish has thread like some seeing near gills and genital area ? How to treat them ?
I noticed bloat in my flowerhorn about two weeks ago. It was there when I fed him and went away when I didn't. So I treated him with Epsom salt soaked pellets, bloat was present then. Then I noticed white poop so I stopped feeding entirely and added metronidazole 400 to the tank. Didn't work as I only saw white poop, so I added the medication into his food and now I can see brown poop hanging from a clear poop sticking out of his butt. Earlier the poop didn't stick out of his butt. What to do?
Is there a thing such as adding too much water conditioner? I use reptisafe for my African dwarf frog.
