The nitrifying bacteria have been conditioned to enter a dormancy phase prior to packaging that allow them to survive in dry conditions. Once the substrate is added to your aquarium water, the bacteria awaken. How much Betta Stratum do I need for my aquarium? Use one bag of Betta Stratum for the Fluval 2.6 US Gal / 10 L Betta Kit, and two bags for the Fluval 6 US Gal / 22.7 L Betta Kit. Should I rinse Betta Stratum before adding it to my aquarium? We recommend gently rinsing Betta Stratum in a large colander or similar device without agitating the substrate to remove fine dust particles.
