Brightwell Aquatics' Reef BioFuel Enhanced Nutrient Uptake - 20L is a carbon source for promoting rapid, natural, phosphate and nitrate reduction in all marine and reef aquariums. BioFuel enhances microbial growth and increases the phosphate-reduction and denitrification. Biological filtration simply utilizes living organisms to remove substances from aquatic systems as a natural result of their respiration and metabolic processes. Furthermore, it promotes the health of suspension-feeding organisms through constant feeding (encouraging polyp-expansion in many types of corals), and promotes water quality. Reef BioFuel contributes a source of bioavailable carbon to guarantee that nutrient restoration is efficient and effective. - Features Especially beneficial in heavily-stocked, well-fed aquariums - Replaces 'vodka method' as a non-flammable alternative - Completely safe and biologically-sound - Helps facilitate biological filtration in new set-ups - Benefits Indirectly benefits corals and other suspension-feeding invertebrates by encouraging reproduction of bacterioplankton (an important food source for suspension-feeding invertebrates). Specifications Size 20L / 5.3 gallons - Supplement Form liquid - Water Type Marine - Ingredients Purified water, proprietary blend of ACS Reagent-grade organic carbon sources - Instructions & Guidelines Before Beginning Shake product well before using. - The main goal of using Reef BioFuel is to provide a source of organic carbon to bacterioplankton, enabling them to assimilate available phosphate and nitrate into new biomass (removing these nutrients from the water column and making them unavailable for uptake by cyanobacteria and algae); the resulting increase in bacterioplankton biomass is then removed from the aquarium via protein skimming and through the feeding activities of suspension-feeding invertebrates such as corals, clams, tube worms, tunicates, sponges, and their respective allies. In this fashion, good water quality is maintained, a food source is provided to m
