Description

MicroBacter Clean by Brightwell Aquatics is a specialized blend of beneficial organisms and enzymes designed to naturally break down organic waste in marine and reef aquariums. It’s the ideal solution for tanks going through the "ugly stage"—that frustrating phase after initial cycling when films, discoloration, and debris start to build on rock and surfaces.

MicroBacter Clean works by introducing live, beneficial species that reduce nutrients like ammonia, nitrate, nitrite, phosphate, and organic carbon. These nutrients often feed unwanted film or algae. By targeting these compounds, this solution helps maintain clearer water, cleaner substrate, and a healthier system without relying on harsh additives or chemical filtration.

This product also encourages the growth of helpful organisms that clean surfaces and create a stable biological environment. These populations continue to provide cleaning support long after the initial dose. When paired with proper filtration and routine maintenance, MicroBacter Clean supports a balanced tank that stays clean and healthy from the inside out.
MicroBacter Clean is ideal for saltwater hobbyists, coral keepers, and reef aquarists seeking an easy, effective way to clean up unwanted buildup. It also complements Brightwell products like MicroBacter StartXLM, Razor Marine, and Xport for full-system biological support.
