Do not even use MicrōBacter7 or MicrōBacterCLEAN until the cycle is complete (then you will want to use one of them to help through the \"ugly stage\".  MicrōBacterCLEAN   will work best for this.)  Do not use live sand and particularly DO NOT USE dry seeded artificial live rock until cycling is complete. There are no dry bacteria species that will be compatible with this nitrifying bacteria product or that are useful to cycle an aquarium at all! To use a dry bacteria will only lengthen the time it takes to cycle by many weeks and increase your work many times!  Wet cycled live rock or even previously cycled wet man made rock will work fine (although this may be a bad idea due to the possibility of introducing parasites or pathogens from another aquarium).  Dry sand is fine to use, but not bagged, so called \"live sand\"  because the manufacturer will usually introduce other bacteria species to replace the natural bacteria that will die and these will be counterproductive to your cycle.  Also, several so called \"probiotic\" salts are available.  Again, there are no species of bacteria that are conducive to cycling that are available in a dry form.  Therefore, do not use any salt that is labelled as probiotic or says it contains dry bacteria.\u003c\/div\u003e \n\u003cdiv\u003e \n\t \u003c\/div\u003e \n\u003cdiv\u003e \n\tStorage \u0026amp; Shelf Life: Shelf life is typically 18 months from manufacture date (more than twice as long as any other nitrifying bacteria and 8 or more times as long as most others).  Although product can withstand elevated temperatures for short periods of time (a few days), for best longevity and highest potency, keep below 80°F and if possible, it will be best kept refrigerated at 50°F to much prolong shelf life. Do not freeze! Freezing can kill the bacteria.  (This product will usually withstand a freeze or two in transit in the winter, but do not freeze, thaw, freeze thaw and keep from freezing if at all possible.)  If the product arrives frozen, then thaw at room temperature, NEVER MICROWAVE!\u003c\/div\u003e \n\u003cdiv\u003e \n\t \u003c\/div\u003e \n\u003cdiv\u003e \n\tA word about substrates: Most aquarium bacteria and certainly those in MicrōBacter Start XLM live on substrates, that is, they attach themselves to surfaces of rocks, piping and any other surfaces that are available.  Most modern aquariums do not have enough surface area.  The advent of artificial \"live rock\" has made available products made from concrete or plastic that look like live rock, but do not have the porosity, so their surface area is too small to support the number of bacteria needed to properly filter the aquarium.  Brightwell recommends that you provide plenty of bacterial surface area, either through plenty of porous natural aragonite live rock, or by providing additional filtration media, such as our XportTM media which has the highest surface area per unit volume of any medium in the world, or our less expensive MicroBacter LatticeTM.\u003c\/div\u003e \n\u003cdiv\u003e \n\t \u003c\/div\u003e \n\u003cdiv\u003e \n\tBefore you get started, you will need:\u003c\/div\u003e \n\u003cdiv\u003e \n\t \u003c\/div\u003e \n\u003cdiv\u003e \n\tAn appropriately sized bottle of MicrōBacter Start XLM.  At a minimum, you will need 1.2 ml of product for every gallon of aquarium capacity.  For example, if you have a 100 gallon tank, you will need a minimum of 120 ml of MicrōBacter Start XLM.\u003c\/div\u003e \n\u003cdiv\u003e \n\ta good grade of the following test kits:  ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, pH\u003c\/div\u003e \n\u003cdiv\u003e \n\ta bottle of Brightwell Erāse-Cl to remove all chlorine or chloramines (if you skip this, you can kill the bacteria in MicrōBacter Start XLM.)\u003c\/div\u003e \n\u003cdiv\u003e \n\tOf course, you will need an excellent aquarium salt mix, such as Brightwell NēoMarine and purified tap water.  Brightwell recommends the tap water be filtered by Reverse Osmosis with post deionization and that you change your carbon filter regularly.\u003c\/div\u003e \n","brand":"Brightwell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40187841937523,"sku":"BRIGHTXLM250","price":38.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0573\/6225\/1891\/files\/microbacter-start-xlm.jpg?v=1758037295"},{"product_id":"brightwell-aquatics-microbacter-clean-marine-aquarium-cleaner-500ml","title":"Brightwell Aquatics MicroBacter CLEAN Marine Aquarium Cleaner - 500ML","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eMicroBacter Clean by Brightwell Aquatics is a unique microbial culture and enzyme blend designed to target and clean surfaces of live rock, coral decorations, and tank walls.

Shake product well before using. Basic: For the first 2 weeks of use, add 5ml (1 capful) of product per 20 US-gallons of aquarium volume twice each week; increase dosage thereafter depending upon perceived nutrient needs of chaeto algae. When used in this fashion, 500 ml treats up to 2,000 US-gallons (7,600 L). Advanced: Daily dosing is recommended, as it maintains a more stable and natural environment than dosing weekly, in which nutrient concentrations spike just after dosing and then gradually decrease throughout the course of the week. To dose daily, add 6 drops per 20 US-gallons per day; adjust dosing volume after one week in accordance with appearance of algae and perceived need for nutrients. Important: Brightwell recommends the use of MicroBacter7 and Reef Bio Fuel or Katalyst to maintain proper carbon levels for the Chaeto, as well as proper bacterial function in the system. For proper Chaeto growth, Brightwell recommends that the hobbyist maintain a minimum of .01 ppm phosphate and 3 to 5 ppm nitrates in the reef system. If levels fall below these values, proper nutrient control will not efficiently occur.

Turn protein skimming and UV-sterilization off for a period of 4 hours following addition to aquaria. A noticeable difference in water clarity is typically apparent within 30-minutes of dosing.

Turn protein skimming and UV-sterilization off for a period of 4 hours following addition to aquaria. Dosage may be adjusted according to perceived benefit to aquarium, however it is recommended that the dosage not exceed 1 drop per 10 US-gallons per day.
