Product Information
Full details
NT Labs Satus is a biological filtration aid designed for aquarium hobbyists looking to safely establish or boost their tank's nitrogen cycle. It is ideal for those setting up a new aquarium or managing water changes, offering the primary benefit of rapidly removing harmful ammonia through a proprietary blend of organisms. A notable caveat is that users must remember to turn off UV sterilizers and ozone equipment for two hours following application to ensure the bacteria can colonize effectively.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best results with NT Labs Satus, follow these steps:
- Preparation: Shake the bottle thoroughly to ensure the concentrated blend of bacteria is evenly distributed.
- Calculation: Determine the required dosage based on your total aquarium volume as specified on the product packaging.
- Application: Add the dose directly to your aquarium water, preferably near the filter intake for rapid dispersal.
- System Adjustment: You must turn off any UV sterilizers or ozone equipment for at least 2 hours post-application. These devices can kill or deactivate the beneficial bacteria before they have a chance to colonize the filter media.
- Maintenance: For the best possible stability, use Satus in conjunction with NT Labs Optimus to maintain a balanced, healthy environment.
