Cycle/Waste Control effective in bowls
Is Cycle and Waste Control effective in bowls without filter
Is Cycle and Waste Control effective in bowls without filter
Cycle will help maintain good water quality in small aquaria without water flow. These aquaria are not used to maintain as many fish as systems with biological filters. A well designed biological filter not only provides surface area for the growth of the beneficial microorganisms, the water flow assures that the pollutants are brought in contact with the microorganisms.
The amount of filtration necessary depends upon the loading of the fish in the aquarium. If there is only a single animal or two, a weekly water change associated with siphoning of solids from the bottom should be adequate. Use a simple submersible filter with "polywool" to help clarify the water. A regular water change will be beneficial; 20% per week should be adequate if the fish are not over fed. Waste Control is used to keep the water clearer and to avoid noxious odors.
Fish Bowl Cleaner is a special combination of bacteria designed to be used in unfiltered aquariums. It combines the power and effectiveness of Cycle and Waste Control to help keep the water in better condition longer. Whenever the bowl or tank is unfiltered, it is wise to add Fish Bowl Cleaner on a regular basis to help keep the water conditions as good as they can be.
