Used in conjunction with MicroBacter7, establishes and develops biological filtration by providing critical nutrients in specific forms and ratios.
Ethical and effective; encourages microbial proliferation without the use of poor nutrient sources, such as fish food (rich in refractory organic compounds) and so-called “starter fish”.
Indirectly benefits corals and other suspension-feeding invertebrates by encouraging reproduction of bacterioplankton (an important food source for those organisms).
Helps prevent bleaching in zooxanthellate corals.
Encourages polyp-expansion in corals, anemones, and their allies.
