## Overview

Brightwell Aquatics MicroBacter Clean is a 1-liter liquid microbial and enzyme blend designed to target and clean aquarium surfaces by reducing harmful organic compounds and loosening debris. It promotes healthy bacterial colonies that maintain water clarity and tank hygiene, making it an essential, easy-to-use solution for marine and reef tank enthusiasts.

## Description

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 aforementioned, and are typically not desirable because of the resultant appearance of the system and the difficulty of maintaining healthy aquarium inhabitants. Brightwell Aquatics MicroBacter Clean 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. Notes: It is normal that clumps may form in the product and the product and the aquarium may have an “earthy” smell or smell “off” and the aquarium water could become cloudy and the smell and cloudiness could remain for many hours after using. This is due to the bacteria themselves and is an indication of quality and is the reason it is necessary to shake product well immediately before using. MicroBacter Clean does not require refrigeration, however storage in a cool, shaded area or refrigeration at 50 deg F to maximize shelf-life of the product. Keep away from heat.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this for fresh water aquariums?**
A: No

**Q: Is this good to help prevent diatom blooms and other new tank syndrome issues**
A: Diatom will happen, more or less diatom may be because of many other factors like too much food or left out food. Cleaning and vacuuming gravel required will help.

**Q: Is it ok to automatic daily dose with automatic dosing machine, or does the bottle have to be shaken prior to the dosing make this a bad idea?**
A: You can use  automatic dosing machine,

**Q: Purchased microbacter clean 250ml on 2-23-22.  i received 2 bottles of "chaetogro" with a sticker on them saying "microbacter clean".  what gives?**
A: This is a shipping error (obviously) from whomever shipped the product to you.  I would recommend that you return it as the wrong product and get a replacement.  ChaetoGro and Microbacter Clean are nothing like each other.
