Tropic Marin Syn-Biotic Salt 25kg/ 55lbs/ 200gal Bucket
Tropic Marin Syn-Biotic Salt 25kg/ 55lbs/ 200gal Bucket
Pharmaceutically pure sea salt with probiotic bacteria and prebiotic bacteria food
The new Tropic Marin Syn-Biotic Sea Salt contains probiotic bacteria for fish and inverts and special prebiotic bacteria food to promote probiotic bacterial growth and to create low-nutrient conditions in the aquarium. The term synbiotic refers to supplements which combine probiotics and prebiotics in a form of synergism.
Tropic Marin Syn-Biotic Sea Salt is ideal when you are setting up a new tank and every time you expand the tank’s stock. It has been proven that probiotic bacteria help to overcome stress and disease while enhancing the health and well-being of fish and crustaceans. For the best results, the aquarium should have a water change with Syn-Biotic Sea Salt prior to any new stock being introduced.
The contained prebiotic additives promote the integration of nitrates and phosphates in bacterial mass for low-nutrient conditions and vivid coral coloration. For sustained benefit to fish and corals as well as microbiological stability, Syn-Biotic Seasalt can be used permanently. Each water change with Syn-Biotic Sea Salt automatically adds the probiotic bacteria necessary to maintain healthy biological processes.
