A fundamental component for correctly starting the nitrogen cycle, suitable for grow beds up to 1000 liters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFor natural biofiltration | Microorganisms for aquaponics system bacterial culture, grow bed volume up to 1000 liters\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBacteria and microorganisms\u003c\/strong\u003e are the first and most important component when starting an \u003cstrong\u003eaquaponics\u003c\/strong\u003e system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey maintain natural balance, ensure biological water purification, and decompose any solids. With this bacterial culture, you will start the “cycles” (letting the system and its water cycle run) and stabilize your aquaponics system so that it functions correctly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNitrobacter \u0026amp; Nitrosomonas for nitrification - The biological filter for your aquaponics system\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bacterial genera Nitrosomonas and Nitrobacter are responsible for what is known as nitrification. During the nitrogen cycle phase, they activate to convert ammonium (from fish waste) into the intermediate product nitrite (Nitrosomonas) and for the subsequent oxidation of nitrite into nitrate (Nitrobacter). The final product nitrate is then absorbed by the plants as a nutrient.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQuick and easy to use in your aquaponics system\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSimply distribute the contents in the grow bed (media bed or grow bed) evenly into the water inflows. Depending on the temperature (\u0026gt;10°C), the bacteria multiply to the right extent and thus keep your system intact. The bacteria adhere to the surface of the growing substrates (e.g., expanded clay) or to support materials in the biofilter, as well as other material surfaces such as tanks or pipes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long does cycling take?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter about 2 weeks, the bacteria have developed and the system is ready for the addition of fish and plants. The propagation is delayed at low temperatures. Below 5°C, bacteria and microorganisms stop functioning.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ofera","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58886635749708,"sku":"OFR-COLTBATTACQU350ML","price":38.39,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1067\/6201\/0956\/files\/AquaponikBakterienkulturundMikroorganismen_350ml_900x_518112a1-5c6e-44eb-a9b7-bef9dc9ac65f.jpg?v=1789833231","url":"https:\/\/acquaponica-delight-fhs9o.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/coltura-batterica-per-acquaponica-350-ml-avvio-del-ciclo-ofera","provider":"Acquaponica.shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
