Unique marine microbial culture & enzyme designed to target
and clean surfaces of live rock, coral decorations & tank walls.Overview:Complex
system of non-pathogenic microbes and natural enzymes, specifically
formulated to clean aquarium live rock and decorations.
Benefits:
- Natural cleaning action on all aquarium and decoration surfaces.
- Loosening of ugly accumulations of unwanted substances and coatings
which makes their removal by scraping and vacuuming much easier.
- Establishment of bacterial colonies that multiply and continue to clean the aquarium.
- 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 (without having to physically clean or disturb the substrate
bed).
Technical Background:The
concentration of dissolved and particulate organic materials in any
aquatic environment can have a significant impact on the overall
appearance of, as well as the health of organisms residing within, that
system. Relatively low-nutrient environments are characterized by high
water clarity, lack of unpleasant odors, and absence of unsightly
coatings; this is collectively a result of the lack of nitrogen-,
phosphorus-, and carbon-based waste available. Aquaria that are
relatively rich in available nutrients have characteristics opposite to
the afore mentioned, and are typically not desirable because of the
resultant appearance of the system and the difficulty of maintaining
healthy aquarium inhabitants.

Aquatics MicroBacterCLEAN is a selective complex of extremely effective
microbes and enzymes that not only reduce the concentrations of organic
nitrogen, ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, phosphate, and organic carbon in
all marine ecosystems, but make maintenance easy by actually loosening
accumulations and coatings. MicroBacterCLEAN does not require
refrigeration, however storage in a cool, shaded area will prolong the
activity, and maximize the shelf-life of the product. Keep away from
heat!
Instructions and Guidelines:Shake
product well before using. Mix appropriate volume of MicroBacterCLEAN
(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
MicroBacterCLEAN below water level of container or aquarium, be sure to
thoroughly clean pipette with fresh water prior to placing tube back
into MicroBacterCLEAN bottle; failure to do so will contaminate the
product. Best results may be obtained by adding mixture to external
biological filtration system. Works particularly well with Xport. Do not
add to pump intake port(s). Turn protein skimming and UV-sterilization
off for a period of 4 hours following addition to aquaria. While
utilizing MicroBacterCLEAN continue good maintenance practices such as
regular vacuuming, using purified water for additions, and limiting the
addition of unnecessary nutrients.
For
normal cleaning and to maintain a clean aquarium: Add 20 ml (4 capfuls)
per 25 US-gallons (94.6 L) [≈16 drops per gallon (3.8 L)] of aquarium
water weekly.
For
problem aquariums or to rapidly accelerate cleaning: Add 30 ml (6
capfuls) per 25 US-gallons (94.6 L) [≈24 drops per gallon (3.8 L)] of
aquarium water on the first day, then add Add 5 ml (1 capful) per 25
US-gallons (94.6 L) [≈4 drops per gallon (3.8 L)] of aquarium water
daily for 2 weeks or longer as necessary until desired results are
achieved.
Bacteria work slowly, so full results can take up to 8 to 10 weeks for long neglected systems.
Ingredients: Purified water, proprietary blend of natural enzymes and non-pathogenic, beneficial microorganisms.
Size: 500 mL
