Product details
Dr Tim's Reef Waste-Away 8oz treats 240gal (472) is a beneficial-bacteria product designed to help break down and remove organic waste buildup inside an aquarium. It’s intended for practical use when sludge and “hidden” gunk accumulate in hard-to-reach areas—like filter media, under gravel, or coral bed surfaces—so it can be dissolved and removed from the system over time, supporting cleaner water and more effective filtration.
Features:
- Helps dissolve sludge and organic dirt that can build up in the aquarium
- Works to unclog gravel and coral beds where waste can collect
- Targets hidden wastes that may be difficult to see, even with good maintenance
- Helps keep filter pads freely flowing longer by reducing buildup
- Made with a combination of beneficial bacteria species isolated from aquarium/pond environments to support active waste breakdown
- Formulated to contain no phosphates and marketed as 100% natural
- Use dosing carefully at first to avoid temporary water cloudiness and an initial low ammonia value in very dirty tanks
Specifications:
- Product size: 8 oz
- Tank treatment volume: Treats 240 gallons (about 908 L)
- Key claim: Sludge-busting beneficial bacteria that attack and dissolve organic wastes
- Phosphate status: Contains no phosphates
- Initial dosing caution: Strongly recommended to start with half a dose
