All natural
API STRESS ZYME Bacterial cleaner contains a unique blend of bacterial strains selected to digest sludge naturally. These non-pathogenic bacteria are safe for fish, aquatic plants and the biological filter.
At API, we tested the effectiveness of STRESS ZYME Bacterial Cleaner
Study of API STRESS ZYME Bacterial Cleaner gravel cleaning effect
Aquariums containing a heavy sludge build-up were used to evaluate the effect of the natural sludge-digesting bacteria in STRESS ZYME compared to untreated control aquariums.
The gravel and sludge were developed over a nine month period in freshwater aquariums.
Aquariums were treated with STRESS ZYME or left as untreated controls.
After 10 days the gravel was examined for sludge build-up
As a result, the gravel treated with the STRESS ZYME bacteria showed significant sludge reduction compared to the untreated control gravel
The treated gravel was cleaner and brighter than the untreated gravel
