Brightwell Katalyst - Bioreactive Filtration Media for Nitrate and Phosphate Control in all Aquaria 600 g

Overview • Bioactive filtration media, providing an ideal colonization substrate and a suitable source of organic carbon to beneficial microbes responsible for uptake of nitrate and phosphate. • Helps decrease latent organic material, and hence nitrate and phosphate concentrations, in aquaria, greatly simplifying and improving nutrient control relative to methods based solely upon using vodka or other alcohol/sugar solutions as organic carbon sources. • May be used with MicroBacter7 and/or as part of a low-nutrient approach to aquarium husbandry. • Improves water clarity through remineralization of latent dissolved organic compounds present in system. • Safe for use in all freshwater and marine aquaria, including planted and reef systems. Technical Background In all aquaria, it is prudent to establish a stable nutrient budget in which the rate of nutrient export is not greatly exceeded by the rate of nutrient input, and vice versa; in the proper physical and chemical conditions, the
