{"product_id":"brightwell-reef-biofuel-enhanced-nutrient-uptake-20l","title":"Reef Biofuel 20L Y730","description":"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 \u0026amp; 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 many aquarium inhabitants, and a large percentage of the assimilated nutrients are directly removed from the system (via protein skimming). Do not use this product in any aquarium in which active and effective protein skimming is not in use. - The skimmer may be turned off for a few (e.g. 2 - 6) hours following addition of Reef BioFuel to the aquarium to enable nutrient uptake and assimilation, whereupon skimming should be resumed; the use of a timer and automated doser to control protein skimming and dosing is a simple and effective means of accomplishing this. - Alternately, the product may be effectively employed without turning skimming off at all. - Grossly overdosing Reef BioFuel will not significantly increase the effectiveness of the product, nor the rate at which it enacts changes in aquaria; in fact, it may have a deleterious effect on water quality if not used as directed. - The following recommendations are based upon extensive testing and will produce the best results in most aquaria; dosage may be adjusted according to perceived benefit to aquarium with time. - Medium-to-High Nutrient Systems:Add 5 ml (1 capful) p","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50390645014768,"sku":"P353531660832216147","price":23.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0855\/5613\/4128\/files\/ad8bfc2a677a64c2a5e5c590acd22f2f75c8ac89a97ae373eb6900ee3db92c2e.jpg?v=1788656558","url":"https:\/\/viraro.shop\/products\/brightwell-reef-biofuel-enhanced-nutrient-uptake-20l","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
