I usually put half the required amount directly into the filter (once I've clean it) and the rest in the tank itself. Its perfect for introducing new fish to the aquarium as well as when cleaning it out. **Q: How much quick start should i use when doing a water change? should i use dosage vs total water in the tank (30l) or water i am changing (7.5l) thx** A: As it's a partial water change; not servicing the filter itself; stick with the amount for the total capacity of the tank will be adequate. A little over will do no harm either, adding a little now & then will keep both the tank & filter up with its ideal bacteria levels to process the muck etc. Some with more money then sense will dump the whole bottle regardless. **Q: Can this be used to help cycle my new tank for my axolotls?** A: Yes **Q: Do I need to remove the carbon whilst using Quick start.** A: Not at all, its all part of the natural waste breakdown you're attempting to build into the filter system overall. In any-case usual charcoal media is replaced a few times before the rest of the filter needs cleaning out. The charcoal itself will be somewhere else for the good bacteria to colonise. In some cases the bacteria will help quicken the breakdown the mulm clogging up the charcoal too & may extend its use a little. ## Frequently Bought Together - API QUICK START Freshwater and Saltwater Aquarium Nitrifying Bacteria 8-Ounce Bottle - API STRESS COAT Aquarium Water Conditioner 16-Ounce Bottle - API ACCU-CLEAR Freshwater Aquarium Water Clarifier 8-Ounce Bottle --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/48699151-api-quick-start](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/48699151-api-quick-start) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-10-06*
