Why Bioptim
- Feeds beneficial bacteria: Supplies the trace nutrients and elements your biofilter bacteria need to colonize and stay active.
- Reduces stress: A natural stress reducer that helps fish settle in, especially after water changes or new additions.
- Clear, stable water: Supports the biological balance that keeps water clear and parameters steady.
- Fresh and salt: Works in both marine and freshwater aquariums.
- Always fresh: Sealed single-dose glass vials keep the contents potent until the moment you open one.
How to Use

FAQ
What does Bioptim actually do?
It feeds and activates the beneficial bacteria that run your biological filter, and it acts as a natural stress reducer for fish. The result is clearer, more stable water and a calmer tank.
Do I have to use it with BioDigest?
They work best together. BioDigest supplies the bacteria and Bioptim supplies the nutrients those bacteria need, so the pair keeps your biofilter strong. Bioptim can also support an already-cycled tank on its own.
Can I use it in a freshwater tank?
Yes. Bioptim works in both freshwater and saltwater aquariums.
How often should I dose it?
About once every 15 days, using 1 vial per 100 to 200 liters. Always follow the directions on the package.
