NT Labs Live Filter Bacteria

Starting a new filter or boosting an existing one? NT Labs Live Filter Bacteria introduces live beneficial bacteria to your pond, helping establish and support your biological filtration.

Biological filtration relies on colonies of bacteria to break down fish waste and uneaten food. Adding live bacteria can help the filter mature more efficiently and maintain balance after disruption.

Why Use Live Filter Bacteria?

• Introduces live beneficial bacteria to your filter
• Supports biological filtration
• Ideal for new pond setups
• Useful after cleaning or medication
• Simple to add directly to the system

A healthy biofilter means steadier water conditions and less stress on your fish.

When To Use

• When starting a new pond or filter
• After cleaning filter media
• Following treatment that may affect bacteria
• After significant water changes

Adding bacteria at the right time helps your system recover and stabilise more quickly.

How To Apply

• Shake well before use.
• Dose according to the instructions on the label.
• Add directly to the filter media area where possible.
• Ensure pumps and aeration are running.

Avoid turning off circulation after dosing – oxygen supports bacterial activity.

Safety Notes

• Use strictly as directed on the packaging.
• Store in a cool place and avoid extreme temperatures.
• Keep out of reach of children and pets.

Consistent feeding, sensible stocking and regular water testing all support your filter’s performance alongside bacterial supplements.
