Seachem Pristine - 250 Ml (8.5 Oz)

Seachem Pristine improves the water quality of freshwater and marine aquariums using bio-augmentation,a chemical-free,natural process that safely eliminates waste,sludge,excess food,and detritus. It also reduces ammonia,nitrates,and nitrites,while enhancing water clarity and overall health.

• Natural organic waste management treatment
• Rapidly and safely eliminates sludge and detritus
• Safe for freshwater and marine aquariums

Bio-augmentation uses beneficial bacteria cultures to break down and remove potentially harmful compounds in your aquarium water. By removing excess nutrients,it reduces the risk of nuisance and disease-causing organisms and helps keep the tank clear and safe. Unlike traditional nitrifying bacteria,the bacteria used in Pristine can adapt,multiply and remain effective even in harsh or low-oxygen environments. While the bacteria consume harmful compounds,they create biopolymers that help trap particulates to increase water clarity.

Directions: Shake well before use. Turn off UV/ozone. Use 1 capful (5 mL) for each 40 L (10 US gallons). Then use a maintenance dose of 1 capful (5 mL) per 80 L (20 US gallons) with additions of livestock or the disruption of the biofilter through cleaning or medications. Antibiotics should be removed with fresh carbon and a water change before adding bacteria. Allow 2 or 3 days for the bacteria to become established before using UV sterilizers or ozone. Recurring problems with high nutrients can indicate overstocking,overfeeding or inadequate filtration.
