Aquavitro Remediation 350ml

Aquavitro Remediation Water Conditioner

Aquavitro Remediation water conditioner is a bio-augmentation treatment from Seachem for freshwater and marine aquariums that helps break down organic waste and improve water quality. It is ideal for aquarium keepers dealing with excess food, sludge, detritus, waste build-up or nutrient-related water-quality concerns.

Key Benefits

• Introduces beneficial bacteria that naturally digest excess food, fish waste, sludge and detritus.
• Helps reduce excess ammonia, nitrites, nitrates and phosphates that can contribute to nuisance and disease-causing organisms.
• Supports cleaner substrate and clearer aquarium water by helping established bacterial colonies trap fine particulates.
• Breaks down a broad range of organic compounds, including fats that may cause unsightly surface films.
• Uses a non-chemical approach to organic waste management.

How It Works
Aquavitro Remediation contains hardy bacterial species developed for aquaculture environments, where controlling sludge and excess organics is important for livestock health. Unlike traditional nitrifying bacteria, this blend can adapt to harsh or low-oxygen conditions while continuing to multiply and support improved aquarium conditions.

Dosage and Directions

• Shake well before use.
• Turn off UV sterilisers and ozone before dosing.
• For initial treatment, add 5 mL per 40 L of aquarium water.
• For maintenance, add 5 mL per 80 L after adding livestock or when the biofilter has been disrupted by cleaning or medication.
• Allow 2 to 3 days for the bacteria to establish before restarting UV sterilisation or ozone.

Important Use Notes
Remove antibiotics with fresh activated carbon and a water change before adding bacteria. Persistent nutrient problems may indicate overfeeding, overstocking or inadequate filtration, so review stocking levels, feeding routines and filter capacity alongside treatment.

Suitable For
Freshwater aquariums, marine fish tanks, reef systems and aquaculture-style setups requiring natural assistance with organic waste and detritus control.
