How It Supports the Aquarium
Beneficial bacteria play an important role in aquarium biological filtration. In a cycled aquarium, these bacteria help process ammonia and nitrite as part of the nitrogen cycle.
Fluval Cycle can be used to support bacteria populations during setup and maintenance, but it does not replace a properly cycled aquarium, good filtration, water testing, or regular maintenance.
Directions for Use
Shake well before use. Dose directly into the aquarium or filter according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Use during new tank setup, water changes, filter maintenance, or other times listed on the product label.
Continue testing ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate levels during cycling or after aquarium changes. Make sure the aquarium has proper aeration and filtration while using bacterial supplements.
Important Aquarium Notes
- Always follow the product label directions
- Do not rely on bacteria supplements alone to correct water quality problems
- Test ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate regularly
- Maintain proper filtration and aeration
- Avoid overfeeding and overstocking
- Cycle new aquariums properly before adding sensitive livestock when possible
- Use a water conditioner when adding tap water to the aquarium

Does Fluval Cycle replace water changes?
No. Beneficial bacteria supplements do not replace water changes, filtration, testing, or regular aquarium maintenance.

Follow the recommended dosing on the product label. Using more than directed is not a replacement for cycling, testing, or correcting water quality issues.
