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.
Hi, So i am planning in keeping goldfish in my living room. I read that the tank need to be cycled 1-2 months before the fishes arrive. To introduce good bacteria in it. But I don’t want to wait that long, can i just put beneficial bacteria product sold in stores, will it be the same? Or is it best to just cycle the tank for 2 months first? I want my goldfish to live a ling live. Thanks
I just purchased Imagitarium Ammonia-Reducing filter media cubes from Petco and there are no instructions for how to use. I have a 5 gallon tank with a submerged Built-in filtration system how many cubes do I use and how do I put them in my filter? Please provide the instructions thank you for your time.
My pond goldfish had swim bladder issues so has been inside for 6 weeks. He was pretty active and I brought in another to keep him company. Since Feb 1st, he is at the bottom, eating a bit especially when I drop it right in from of him. No external signs of any disease that I can seen. Nitrites are high as tank is cycling. I am adding Prime, aquarium salt (1 gram) and 30% water changes. Nitrite converting bacteria is establishing now. Any thought on what it could be and what to do? Thank you
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

Best foods for 29gallon tank with 4Rosaline Sharks, 4Congo Tetras, 1large bushy nosed plecostamus. Vitamins?
hi I bought the imagitarium fresh water uv purified water for my betta,s. Is this good water for them and does it have the nutrients they need? thank you
We are new to having aquariums, we really didn't realize so many things played a factor with the water. We currently have a 10 gallon tank but want to increase to a 29 gallon tank. We currently buy gallons of water but with the 29 gallon tank we really don't want to have to do that. We have well water with a salt filter. My levels from to tap was nitrate 10, nitrite 0, hardness 0, chlorine 0, alk 100, ph 7.. is my tap water safe even with the salt filter.
Going to be bringing a few guppies home, probably all females for simplicity sake. We have the 10 gallon tank, master test kit, heater, filter, some Omega One guppy food, and the proper decorations. But I would like to know any tips on how to safely bring them home in my car. (We still have to cycle the tank, so no rush.) We will be getting them from an actual pet store, definitely no Walmart or Meijer fish as those tend to be much less healthy.
