- Establishes Beneficial Bacteria
- Speeds Up Nitrogen Cycling
- Helps Prevent Loss from New Tank Syndrome
Activ Betta Bio-Activ Gravel is a natural aquarium substrate packed with beneficial bacteria to help speed up the cycling of your aquarium. This allows for the addition of fish into a set up sooner than using non-active substrate as the bacteria can begin consuming ammonia right away.
Beneficial bacteria are essential to a healthy aquarium and should be present before adding livestock. We recommend testing your water often while using this product to ensure your cycle has successfully been completed.
Customer Reviews
Love that I do not have to rinse this stuff plus it isn’t messy to place unlike sand can be. This substrate is nice and fine but not as super fine like sand, but still soft. I love that it is bioactive and is helpful for cycling a new tank or preparing a hospitalized tank. Only wish it came in a bigger size
Absolutely love this product i have added it to all my tanks
Activ Betta Bio-Activ Gravel (1 lb. bag)
Works as described, my hospital tank was pretty much instantly cycled with this stuff. Tested daily since adding and everything seems stable. These are extremely small packages of gravel, I probably should have ordered 6 instead of two.
This is my first time having a planted tank and so far my plants are LOVING this gravel
Used for a larger tank for my Betta. I haven't put him in there yet but I just put it in planted it and it wasn't cloudy. Looks great, capped it with gravel
The plants in my 5 gallon betta tank love the CaribSea Eco complete. But it shows every piece of dirt and gets dirty easily. My solution, a cap of Betta Bio-Activ Gravel.
It looks amazing and solves both problems.
The betta is a Red Samurai.
For my 5.5 gal betta tank, I got two bags of betta gravel which covered the bottom of my tank. Great cycle starters!
Looks great as a top gravel. Very nice black color that really brings out bettas’ colors
Package came on time and arrived well. I added it at the bottom of my tank before the sand and substrate and is doing really well. I haven’t added any fish yet but I’m sure my betta will love it.
