Aquario Neo Cap Starter

Cycling a new tank starts with one capsule — beneficial powder bacteria plus everything that bacteria needs to reproduce, all pre-measured.

Neo Cap Starter is built for the beginning of a tank's life, when you're trying to get a nitrogen cycle established — the invisible process where helpful bacteria colonise a new tank and turn fish and shrimp waste into far less harmful compounds; this is what hobbyists mean by “cycling”, and every tank needs it before livestock can live there safely — rather than maintain one that's already running. The capsule contains beneficial powder bacteria along with the essential ingredients that bacteria colony needs to reproduce — so instead of relying on the bacteria that eventually finds its own way in, you're giving the cycle a deliberate head start.

As with the rest of the Neo Cap range, it's one capsule, one dose — no liquid measuring, no half-guessing how much to add on day one of a new setup. That matters most here: an under- or over-dosed cycle-starter is a common way new tanks go wrong, and the capsule format removes that variable.

• Beneficial powder bacteria + the ingredients that bacteria needs to reproduce
• Purpose-built to help establish a new tank's nitrogen cycle
• Single pre-measured capsule — consistent dosing from day one
