Colony Rapid Cycle (Saltwater)

Blue Shark Colony Rapid Cycle Bacteria (Saltwater) Utilizing authentic true nitrifying bacteria, Colony establishes bio-filtration in days instead of weeks

Accelerate your aquarium’s nitrogen cycle with true nitrifying bacteria.

Blue Shark Colony Marine introduces authentic aerobic autotrophs, specifically Nitrococcus and Nitrosococcus strains, to establish effective bio-filtration in your marine aquarium. This rapid introduction reduces the traditional 6–8 week cycling period to just a few days, ensuring a healthier environment for your aquatic life.

• Rapid establishment of bio-filtration in new aquariums

• Supports increased bioload when adding new livestock
• Replenishes beneficial bacteria after replacing filter media
