Seachem Pristine™ – Natural Waste Management with Live Bacteria
Seachem Pristine™ uses a natural, non-chemical process called bio-augmentation to improve water quality in both freshwater and marine aquariums. This live bacteria blend breaks down excess food, waste, detritus, and fats, helping to reduce ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate levels while improving water clarity and overall tank health.
The hardy bacterial strains in Pristine™ thrive in a range of conditions, including low oxygen environments, and work to keep your tank balanced and clear—naturally.
✅ Breaks down organic waste and sludge
✅ Reduces ammonia, nitrate & nitrite
✅ Improves water clarity – no harsh chemicals
✅ Suitable for freshwater and marine tanks
✅ Great for maintaining a clean, healthy aquarium
How It Works:
• Bacteria consume excess nutrients and organic debris
• Helps reduce nuisance algae and harmful build-up
• Produces biopolymers that trap particles and boost clarity
• Continues working in low oxygen zones where other bacteria may fail
Directions:
• Shake well before use
• Initial dose: 5 mL per 40L (10 US gallons)
• Maintenance: 5 mL per 80L (20 US gallons) when adding livestock or after filter cleanings
• Turn off UV and ozone for 2–3 days after dosing
• Ensure antibiotics are removed before use (via carbon and water change)
Tip: Persistent nutrient issues may indicate overfeeding, overstocking, or under-filtration—review your setup if problems persist.
