BEA - Aequilibrium A - Nitrifying and denitrifying bacteria - 10 capsules

Precise dosage and detailed administration method

The standard dosage is 1 capsule per 500 to 1,000 liters of actual water. For smaller volumes, use ½ capsule per 100 to 500 liters . The goal is to adjust the quantity to the actual biological load of the system and the results of analyses.

For optimal application:

• Open the capsule and dilute its contents in 100 ml of aquarium water .
• Pour the solution into a high-flow area, ideally into the sump.
• Turn off the skimmer for about 30 minutes .

To maximize biological efficacy, the mixture can be left to stand for 6 to 12 hours at approximately 24°C , protected from light, before being introduced into the system. This step promotes the activation and initial multiplication of the strains.

In case of partial dilution, the remaining solution can be stored in the refrigerator for the next dose. As the capsules are sensitive to moisture, they must be tightly closed and stored carefully.

Usage protocols: maturation, resolution, and maintenance

Standard program: 4 weeks of application followed by 1 week of rest . After the break, assess the parameters and decide on a new cycle if necessary.

Maturation (new container or transfer):
1 capsule / 500–1000 L or ½ capsule / 100–500 L weekly for 4 weeks. After a one-week break, the cycle can be repeated for longer maturation periods.

Resolution (medium/high nutrients, algae, bacterial films, detritus, low redox):
Follow the same dosage regimen for 4 weeks. If imbalances persist after the one-week break, repeat the protocol.

Maintenance (low nutrients, stable system):
Application follows the same ratio but is integrated into a reasoned management approach, always based on analysis. After the cycle, a one-week break is allowed before any possible resumption.

It is recommended to dose 24 to 48 hours after a water change . The product can be used in conjunction with BEA Aequilibrium E, Z, and PRO formulas for complete microbiological control.

Complete biological action on aerobic and anaerobic zones

The strength of BEA Aequilibrium A lies in the coexistence of complementary microbial groups . Nitrifying bacteria work in the oxygenated zones of the filter and rocks, while denitrifying bacteria act in the oxygen-poor micro-zones of the deep substrates or DSB. This dual action ensures a natural and gradual reduction of nitrogen compounds .

The product also helps to neutralize nitrite residues and unmetabolized organic compounds frequently observed in modern intensive systems.

Synergy with the complete AEQUILIBRIUM protocol

BEA Aequilibrium A integrates perfectly into a comprehensive microbiological management system, particularly in combination with BEA Aequilibrium E, Z, and PRO . This combination broadens the spectrum of biological action and allows for even more balanced management of dissolved nutrients and organic matter.

Regular use promotes the development of a dense, active and stable microbial population , essential for maintaining a high-performing marine aquarium in the long term.

Conservation and technical recommendations
