## Description

Brightwell Aquatics MicroBacter Clean Experience a cleaner, healthier aquarium with Brightwell Aquatics MicrōBacter Clean, a revolutionary solution designed for aquarium live rock and decorations. Professionals trust MicrōBacter Clean to combat the notorious "ugly stage," a common challenge during the initial cycling phase when your tank is just starting to season. This advanced formula prevents much of the ugliness associated with this stage, ensuring a smoother transition for your aquatic environment. Whether you're setting up a new tank or maintaining an established one, MicrōBacter Clean is your go-to solution. The ultimate solution for a pristine and thriving aquarium. FEATURES AT A GLANCE 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 Prevents much of the ugliness of the "ugly stage," "those months just after the initial cycle" 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).

Review: Worth every penny - This stuff works great! Had a problem with diatoms and hair algae. Thought about chemically treating my tank to fix it but ran across this stuff. After about a 2 weeks diatoms population diminished dramatically. After a month they are completely gone. Hair algae still persists but has not grown out of control. Also like other reviews state, my protein skimmer is working way more efficiently now. It has been about 3 weeks since I used the last part of the bottle and my tank has maintained stability. Highly recommend this product for getting past the ugly phase or naturally cleaning your tank.

Helps keep saltwater tank cleaner.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Stunned to see 100% effectiveness in week 3
*by L***E on December 25, 2024*

After a decade reefing, "nothing good happens fast" is pretty much the proven, golden rule. Yet after 3 doses (5ml per gal, once per week) this wiped out all the turf algae like a switch. I was stunned. Stuff that grew everywhere - sand, shade, rocks, coral - just disappeared. *Note that I did resolve the major detritus issues first*, but within 3 days of blowing the rocks off, they would still be covered in sheet-like green algae. On the 3rd weekly water change, I dosed as usual and the algae just vanished. Clean as much as you can, follow the instructions and stay the course. Great product, and I'll continue to use it.
