Review: Life saver! - Had a well established nano brackish Opae shrimp tank that got badly contaminated by a rogue clump of seaweed popped in by a well meaning friend's little girl. No amount of partial water changes could clear the think stringy brown mess in the tank so grabbed some of this and just had to start afresh. Opaes are hardy l know, but even so, cycling a tank from scratch with them in worried me sick. Needn't have stressed out - this stuff is a life saving miracle! Yes it does pong a bit, and it has to be kept in the fridge, but its kept all parameters safe, water is clear and my shrimps are cherry red and happy bunnies again. Really impressive stuff!! Review: Better than almost all mainstream alternatives - I have tried other bottled 'bacteria' from Seachem, Tetra, API and this one is superior in results. Compared to other alternatives on the market, I think it has cultures of the right bacteria (Nitrosomonas, Nitrospira and Nitrobacter) compared to other market alternatives that usually have heterotrophs or anaerobes. In my case, it dropped nitrites to near zero in under 30 hours. PROS: - Works under 24 hours in emergencies - No bloom/cloudy water CONS: - More expensive than others - Opened bottle needs to be put in your fridge ## Features - Use biocides safely. Always read the label and product information before use. - Safe start for small tanks: Ideal for nano and beginner aquariums – shortens cycling phase and allows safe fish stocking sooner – supports stable, healthy water values. - Natural ammonia reduction: Converts harmful compounds biologically – protects fish and shrimp from nitrite peaks – ensures clear, balanced water. - Compact & efficient: Biological starter bacteria for quick stabilisation – works naturally without chemicals – perfect for community tanks. - Easy to use: Add directly to the tank water – no mixing required – safe for fish, shrimp, corals and plants – no overdose risk. - ARKA quality: Developed with aquatic experts for reliable aquarium starts – trusted by breeders and aquascapers worldwide. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B005A3X9YQ | | Allergen Information | Allergen-Free | | Best Sellers Rank | 4,403 in Pet Supplies ( See Top 100 in Pet Supplies ) 47 in Aquarium Water Treatments | | Brand | ARKA | | Brand Name | ARKA | | Country Of Origin | USA | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 2,721 Reviews | | EU Spare Part Availability Duration | 2 Years | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00097121211187 | | Included Components | 1x Nite-Out II 118 ml | | Item Form | Liquid | | Item Type Name | NITEH04US | | Item Weight | 0.13 Kilograms | | Item form | Liquid | | Item weight | 0.13 Kilograms | | Liquid Volume | 118 Millilitres | | Liquid volume | 118 Millilitres | | Manufacturer | ARKA Biotechnologie GmbH | | Manufacturer Part Number | NITEH04US | | Model Number | NITEH04US | | Number of Items | 1 | | Pet Type | Fish | | Product Warranty | 12 | | Target Species | Fish | | UPC | 097121211187 | | Unit Count | 118.0 millilitre | | Unit count | 118.0 millilitre | ## Product Details - **Brand:** ARKA - **Item form:** Liquid - **Item weight:** 0.13 Kilograms - **Liquid volume:** 118 Millilitres - **Unit count:** 118.0 millilitre ## Images ![Starter Bacteria Aquarium 118 ml - Nite-Out II Safe Start & Water Change | cycling phase, against nitrite, ammonium, poor water values, after medication & restart, fish tank, freshwater, saltwater - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71PB7mmpFcL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Life saver! *by D***B on 24 October 2025* Had a well established nano brackish Opae shrimp tank that got badly contaminated by a rogue clump of seaweed popped in by a well meaning friend's little girl.
