Really effective at getting tank cycled!
This stuff really seems to work! I have a bio orb and I have to tell you it is really hard to get these tanks cycled! Iâm learning a lot. I put the stuff in and itâs so fast how quickly it clears the water.

Works
I use several bacteria products. They wonât work fast but combined with good maintenance they really do work on keeping a tank looking sharp.

Stunned to see 100% effectiveness in week 3
After a decade reefing, “nothing good happens fast” is pretty much the proven, golden rule.Yet after 3 doses (5ml per gal, once per week) this wiped out all the turf algae like a switch. I was stunned. Stuff that grew everywhere – sand, shade, rocks, coral – just disappeared. *Note that I did resolve the major detritus issues first*, but within 3 days of blowing the rocks off, they would still be covered in sheet-like green algae. On the 3rd weekly water change, I dosed as usual and the algae just vanished.Clean as much as you can, follow the instructions and stay the course. Great product, and I’ll continue to use it.

Not really noticing a difference
Jake –
Better than expected
Mind blown honestly. Levels were perfect in the tank and kept getting multiple types of Algae. Added this in there 1 time a week, 2 capfulls and half the algae is gone after 30 days. In the way to a spotless tamk again.

The product arrived with a cracked cap and there is no safety seal on the bottle. The product had leaked a bit and is all over the bottle and box.

I’ve been using this product for over 10 weeks, algae on rocks still exactly the same (Id expect at least a small difference but thereâs been no reduction in algae at all)I reduced my lights to 6 hours a day and maximum 50% intensity.Ammonia – 0Nitrites – 0Nitrates – 5Phosphate – 0Very tough green algae on rocks, tried scrubbing off with toothbrush but doesn’t remove anything. So I bought this as it says it will clean rocks however, this has not been the case.Waste of money, might as well have been adding water. Will not be using Brightwell products again – Disappointed.
