Brightwell Aquatics MicroBacter7 - Complete Bioculture 2L

Complex system of non-pathogenic aerobic and anaerobic microbes, as well as natural enzymes, specifically formulated to establish biological filtration in new aquarium set-ups, and to enhance the rate of nitrification, denitrification, and organic waste degradation in marine and freshwater aquaria through complete nutrient remineralization.
Supplied in a state of suspended animation for maximum longevity.
Formulated utilizing extensive data compiled by microbiologists.

Benefits

• Rapid reduction of organic carbon, ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, and phosphate.
• Digestion of uneaten/undigested food, excreta, detritus, and other latent organic material, resulting in cleaner and healthier aquarium substrate
• Reduction of organic compounds into nutrients that encourage the growth of photosynthetic organisms
• Greatly-reduced hydrogen sulfide production.
• Increase in dissolved oxygen concentration.
• Limits availability of pre-existing phosphate to undesirable forms of algae and cyanobacteria.
• Increased water clarity.

Instructions and Guidelines

Shake product well before using. Mix appropriate volume of MicrBacter7 (see below) with 250-ml (~8 fl. oz.) of aquarium water in a clean container prior to addition to aquarium. If using a pipette to dispense MicrBacter7 below water level of container or aquarium, be sure to thoroughly clean pipette with fresh water prior to placing tube back into MicrBacter7 bottle; failure to do so will contaminate the product. Best results may be obtained by adding mixture to external biological filtration system (if applicable). Do not add to pump intake port(s). For best results, use within 1-year of purchase date. Grossly overdosing MicrBacter7 will not significantly increase the effectiveness of the product, nor the rate at which it enacts changes in aquaria. The following recommendations are based upon extensive testing and will produce the best results in most aquaria.

Medium- to High-nutrient Systems, or to seed Biological Filtration in new aquaria:
To effectively decrease the concentration of available nutrients and waste material in all marine and freshwater aquaria, add 5 ml (1 capful) per 25 US-gallons (94.6 L) [4 drops per gallon (3.8 L)] of aquarium water daily for the first two weeks of use; the impact that MicrBacter7 has on an aquarium is most evident within this period. Turn protein skimming and UV-sterilization off for a period of 4 hours following addition to aquaria. A noticeable difference in water clarity is typically apparent within 30-minutes of dosing. Follow same instructions for new aquarium start-up. Thereafter, switch to low-nutrient dosage (below).

Stable, Low-nutrient Systems:
To maintain a low concentration of availa
