Product details
MicroBacter7 – Brightwell Aquatics is a microbial aquarium additive designed to support biological filtration in both new and established marine and freshwater tanks. It contains a selective complex of non-pathogenic aerobic and anaerobic microbes along with natural enzymes, aimed at breaking down organic waste and cycling waste products more efficiently. In practice, it’s used to help reduce dissolved and organic waste load—supporting clearer water and promoting overall water quality for aquarium life.
Features:
- Supports biological filtration by providing beneficial microbes and enzymes that help drive nitrification and denitrification processes
- Helps reduce organic nitrogenous wastes, ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, and phosphate as part of nutrient remineralization
- Breaks down uneaten/undigested food, excreta, and detritus so waste is processed rather than accumulating in the substrate
- Designed to help limit hydrogen sulfide production and increase dissolved oxygen in the system
- Can be used in new aquariums to accelerate the establishment of beneficial filtration, then transitioned to maintenance dosing
- Supplied in a state of suspended animation to help maximize longevity
Specifications:
