Seachem Laboratories Pristine Biological Conditioner 500 ml

Seachem Pristine is a natural and effective solution for maintaining optimal water quality in both freshwater and marine aquariums. Utilizing a bio-augmentation approach, Pristine introduces beneficial bacteria that work to break down excess ood, waste, and detritus. This method helps manage organic waste and reduce excess nutrients like ammonia, nitrates, and nitrites, which can contribute to the growth of nuisance organisms and diseases. By incorporating these specialized bacteria, Pristine helps to improve water clarity and promote a healthier aquatic environment.

Seachem Pristine contains active ingredients that support the growth of bacterial colonies that can adapt to harsh conditions and continue to enhance water quality. Additionally, the bacteria in Pristine effectively break down fats and other organic compounds that can lead to unsightly films on the water's surface. With its ability to eliminate sludge and improve water clarity, Seachem Pristine is a valuable tool for maintaining a clean and vibrant aquarium.
