Reef Brite Live Rock Enhance includes live cultures and helpful enzymes that clean and cure live rock. Reef Brite Live Rock Enhance contains microbial spores and enzymes that dissolve detritus, slime algae, and other waste within rocks, sand, and/or in live rock curing containers. This blend will break down hidden organic material and wastes, unclogging the rock's pore structure and enhancing the rock's biological filtration capacity. Key Features: Help to revitalize sump biofilters, sandbeds, refugium, and other areas where detritus accumulates over time. It allows the colonization of desirable organisms faster and prevents impacted detritus from interfering with colonization.Cures new live rock faster and more completely via microbial and enzymatic action.Establishes a healthy biofilm via microbial action, which helps discourage unwanted microorganisms from attaching to the rock.Unclogs the pores of new or established live rock and substrates and aids in keeping the surfaces clean. Storage: When not in use, store in a cool, dry place.For best results, keep it refrigerated.Directions: Add one scoop per 25 gallons in an area of high circulation every other day for the first week. For smaller tanks (10-15 gallons), use half scoop. For larger systems, use one teaspoon per 100 gallons. For optimal results, add a few ounces of aquarium water to the blend in a separate container and let sit for 20-30 minutes, stirring about every ten minutes to ensure the best hatch rate. Then pour it into the aquarium. Repeat the dose every week until the desired results are achieved. Maintain adequate aeration and water circulation. Refugium: Compute the volume of the refugium and the aquarium it is supporting. Proportionally add the required amount of Live Rock Enhance to both the main aquarium and the refugium separately. Curing Live Rock: Dose daily until the ammonia level is zero and the water is clear. Curing is further enhanced by aeration, use of a protein skimmer, and changing water when it clouds. In the early stages of curing, cloudy water is normal. Replace the dose whenever water is changed. Oxygen becomes more soluble as water temperature and salinity decrease; therefore, curing is faster and easier at lower temperatures and salinities. Keep water at about 72° – 73° f and 1.020 – 1.021 specific gravity. Seeding Live Rock and base rock: Follow initial dosing recommendations. Note: Live Rock Enhance™ is a live culture so it is recommended to turn off UV sterilizers while dosing. Failure to do so may significantly reduce the effectiveness of the product. Ingredients: Cultures of proprietary microbes, including Bacillus subtillis, Bacillus licheniformis, and attendant enzymes. Botanical extracts to aid adhesion. Approximately 7 billion cfu/g. Treats approximately 2000 gallons
