The Seachem Pristine Water Conditioner for Fish Tanks improves water quality through bio-augmentation, a non-chemical and natural method. The bacteria in Pristine are a one-of-a-kind blend that has been specifically developed for hardiness and adaptability to a wide range of environmental conditions. It contains bacteria that decompose excess food, waste, and detritus in freshwater and marine systems. Excess nutrients (e.g., ammonia, nitrates, and nitrites) may also be reduced, which may fuel the growth of nuisance and disease-causing organisms. Pristine improves the health of the aquatic environment by increasing water clarity.
The bacteria species in Pristine thrive in both fresh and salt water and can utilize a wide range of organic compounds, including fats, which can cause unsightly films. This bacterial blend, unlike traditional nitrifying bacteria, can adapt to harsh or low oxygen environments and continue to multiply and improve water conditions. Established bacterial colonies produce biopolymers that trap particulates and improve water clarity.
