Brightwell Aquatics Reef BioFuel 500 mL — Carbon Source for Nitrate & Phosphate Reduction

Brightwell Aquatics Reef BioFuel 500 mL — Carbon Source for Nitrate & Phosphate Reduction

Enhance nutrient export and improve water clarity with Brightwell Aquatics Reef BioFuel 500 mL, a balanced organic carbon source formulated to promote the growth of beneficial bacteria that consume nitrate (NO₃⁻) and phosphate (PO₄³⁻) in marine and reef aquariums.

Reef BioFuel supports biological nutrient reduction by feeding heterotrophic bacteria, which are then removed naturally via protein skimming or mechanical filtration. This process helps combat nuisance algae, stabilize nutrient levels, and support healthier coral coloration and growth—especially in systems with elevated nutrients or heavy feeding.

Designed for controlled, predictable carbon dosing, Reef BioFuel can be used alone or alongside bacterial products such as MicroBacter7 for enhanced results. The clean liquid formula allows precise dosing and integrates easily into manual routines or automated dosing systems when used as directed.
