Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What does Aqueon PURE Live Beneficial Bacteria and Enzymes do?

Ans: PURE is a nitrifying bacteria supplement that helps maintain a well balanced aquarium. The live bacteria and enzymes convert harmful ammonia and nitrite into less toxic nitrate while breaking down excess waste from overfeeding or detritus that can build up in the tank over time.

Q2: How much PURE should I add to my aquarium?

Ans: Add one PURE ball per 10 gallons of tank water weekly for routine maintenance. When setting up a new aquarium, add two PURE balls per 10 gallons to help support the tank during the initial cycling stage.

Q3: Can PURE be overdosed?

Ans: PURE employs a time-release sphere design, ensuring that any excess bacteria stay on the surface until required by the aquarium. This prevents overdosing even when used frequently in busy, well-stocked aquariums.

Q4: Does PURE replace the need for water changes?

Ans: PURE helps maintain the aquarium balance and acts as a safety net if the habitat becomes unbalanced. However, it does not replace regular water changes, which are essential for routine tank maintenance and a healthy balanced aquarium over time.

Q5: Will PURE dissolve completely in the water?

Ans: PURE does not fully dissolve in the aquarium. It becomes invisible after addition, and any small residue remains unnoticed. You can safely remove it during your next water change without extra effort.

Q6: Does PURE work best in filtered or unfiltered tanks?

Ans: PURE is most effective when used in a filtered aquarium system. Nitrifying bacteria thrive on surfaces like filter media, décor and gravel, so a filtered setup provides ideal surfaces for the bacteria to establish and maintain the aquarium's biological balance.
