FISHIT! gives you access to the fastest and safest way to cycle your aquarium and make it safe for your fishy friends. We cycle this media in our own filters in our 30+ active planted tanks, and ship it to you with plenty of bacteria-filled gunk. Simply add it right to your filter or your substrate to make your tank instantly safe for livestock and to improve your filtration!
Standard cup is 5.5oz, Large is 16oz. Cups are shipped with a pocket of air in the pouch so the water is oxygenated as it is shaken around in shipping. Crushed Lava Rock is used as biomedia.
To make FISHIT!, we clean all of our filters in a central tank, which is aerated, treated for pests/parasites, and maintained to be an ideal breeding ground for beneficial nitrifying bacteria. Each pouch of FISHIT! contains gunk from 30+ different established filters, and this gunk is extremely rich with bacteria as well as food for the bacteria to continue multiplying and thriving. This bacteria needs oxygen to thrive as well, so we intentionally fill our pouches with a bit of air left just before we ship them. They never sit on shelves. This way, the package is constantly being handled and oxygen is being constantly dissolved into the water, providing oxygen to the aerobic bacteria contained within. FISHIT! is generally shelf-stable for about 5 days after shipping.
Ask any aquarist, the easiest way to start a new aquarium is to squeeze dirty filter media from an existing tank to it. So, that's all FISHIT! is!
