". . .Five genera are accepted as ammonia-oxidizers and four as nitrite-oxidizers. Identified to grow naturally in both wild environments AND in the bio-filter in captive freshwater systems, Nitrosomonas (ammonia-oxidizers) and Nitrobacter (nitrite-oxidizers) are the most well known. Marine nitrifiers (Nitrosococcus and Nitrococcus) are different from the freshwater nitrifiers but are closely related. Though several products claim to contain these nitrifiers, very few actually do."
Dunno if I'd want to try a product from a company that gets the bacteria backwards and lists the saltwater as freshwater and vice versa. Even if, giving them the benefit of the doubt, and it's just a web site typo, it's a bad one.
This needs an email to the company for clarification . . .
From my past research on cycling, the nitrsomonas and nitrobacter were the freshwaster bacteria. Nitrosococcus and Nitrococcus are marine bacteria in my brief search just now.Roan Art said:Out of interest I went to their web site:
