Daha fazla bilgi

Tetra FilterActive provides natural biological support for aquariums by replenishing and strengthening essential bacteria whenever the water is changed or the filter is cleaned. Its liquid formula contains a special blend of living starter bacteria and sludge removing cleaning bacteria that perfectly complement each other to maintain a stable aquatic ecosystem. The starter bacteria quickly settle in the filter material, where they help to restore and stabilise the biological balance. These nitrifying bacteria are essential in breaking down ammonia and nitrite, protecting fish from those harmful substances and therefore keeping the water safe. At the same time, the sludge-reducing cleaning bacteria in Tetra FilterActive actively decompose organic waste such as fish excrement, leftover food, built-up sludge and dead plant matter. This natural action not only keeps the filter cleaner for longer but also significantly improves its performance and extends the intervals between cleaning.  Tetra FilterActive also promotes bioactivity in the substrate, helping to prevent decay and reduce rotting processes in the soil. This creates a balanced, self-sustaining biological system that supports fish, plants and invertebrates alike, while also reducing the overall maintenance effort.  Easy to use and 100% biological, the liquid formula does not cloud the water and is safe for regular application. Simply shake well before use and add 5 ml per 20 L of aquarium water after filter cleaning or replacement, or use half the dosage after partial water changes. Tetra FilterActive can also be applied when adding new fish or in cases of high organic pollution due to a large fish population. For best results, store the product at room temperature and avoid exposure to temperatures above 30 °C or below 2 °C.

What does Tetra FilterActive do?

Tetra FilterActive provides natural biological support by replenishing essential bacteria in the aquarium. It contains live nitrifying bacteria that quickly settle in the filter to break down harmful ammonia and nitrite, as well as sludge-reducing bacteria that decompose organic waste. This keeps the filter cleaner for longer and ensures a stable, healthy environment for your fish, plants and invertebrates.

When should I use Tetra FilterActive?

Use Tetra FilterActive after cleaning or replacing your filter or filter materials, after partial water changes, or following medical treatments that may reduce beneficial bacteria. It is also useful when adding new fish or in heavily stocked aquariums, where organic waste builds up more quickly. In these cases, weekly use is recommended to stabilise biological activity.

Is Tetra FilterActive safe for all my fish and aquarium inhabitants?

Yes. The formula is 100% biological and safe for fish, aquatic plants and invertebrates. It does not cloud the water and can be used regularly without any risks. Even sensitive species can benefit from its natural bacterial support.

What happens if I add too much Tetra FilterActive?

Overdosing is not harmful, as the product is fully biological. The “excess” bacteria consume available nutrients until they are no longer needed. After that, the population naturally stabilises. The only effect can be a slightly higher oxygen demand, so ensure good aeration, for example with a Tetra APS air pump.

Can I use Tetra FilterActive in a marine aquarium?

No. Tetra FilterActive is designed exclusively for freshwater aquariums. The bacteria it contains are adapted to freshwater conditions and do not thrive in saltwater.

Can I use the product 2–3 days after cleaning the filter?

Yes, you can. However, for the best results, Tetra FilterActive should be added immediately after filter cleaning, partial water changes or substrate maintenance. This ensures that the lost bacteria are replenished straight away and that biological activity does not decline unnecessarily.

What is the shelf life of Tetra FilterActive?

Tetra FilterActive has a shelf life of at least 18 months if stored properly between 2°C and 30°C. Do not expose the product to freezing or high heat, as this may reduce the effectiveness of the bacteria. Always check the expiry date before use.

What is the difference between Tetra SafeStart and Tetra FilterActive? Do I need both?

Tetra SafeStart is designed for new aquariums: it provides live nitrifying bacteria to safely introduce fish from day one. Tetra FilterActive, on the other hand, is used after maintenance or in established aquariums, as it not only adds nitrifying bacteria but also sludge-reducing bacteria for a cleaner, more efficient filter. In combination, Tetra SafeStart helps you set up your aquarium, while Tetra FilterActive supports ongoing maintenance and stability.

Can Tetra FilterActive help reduce maintenance?

Yes. Thanks to its cleaning bacteria, Tetra FilterActive decomposes sludge and organic waste, which keeps the filter cleaner and extends the time
between maintenance. It also supports bioactivity in the substrate, preventing rotting processes in the soil and reducing the overall cleaning effort.

Can I combine Tetra FilterActive with other Tetra products?

Absolutely. Use Tetra AquaSafe whenever adding tap water to remove harmful substances, then apply Tetra FilterActive to restore bacterial activity. For complete care, you can also combine it with Tetra Biocoryn, which contains additional bacteria to combat organic pollution, and Tetra EasyBalance, which stabilises key water values and reduces algae nutrients. Together, these products form a comprehensive water care system. Check the seven most important water values with the Tetra Test 7in1 on a regular basis.
