Seachem Pristine

• Natural organic waste management
•  Rapidly and safely eliminates sludge and detritus
•  Helps increase water clarity
•  Marine and freshwater

Description

Pristine™ uses bio-augmentation, a non-chemical and natural  method, to improve water quality. It provides bacteria that break down  excess food, waste and detritus in freshwater and marine systems. It  will also reduce excess nutrients (e.g. ammonia, nitrates, and nitrites)  that may fuel the growth of nuisance and disease-causing organisms.  Pristine™ increases water clarity and promotes overall better health for  the aquatic environment.

The bacteria species in Pristine™ thrive in fresh or salt  water and can utilize a wide range of organic compounds, including fats  that can cause unsightly films.  Unlike traditional nitrifying bacteria,  this bacterial blend can adapt to harsh or low oxygen environments and  continue to multiply and improve water conditions. Biopolymers produced  by established bacterial colonies trap particulates and increase water  clarity. 

The species of bacteria in Pristine™ are a unique blend,  specifically developed for hardiness and their ability to adapt to a  wide variety of environmental conditions.

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.

Product shelf life is 4 years from date of manufacture.
