Additionally, I have seen the conga line of products entering the aquarium hobby that create confusion among aquarists and earn dollars for exploitative manufacturers; frankly, I got tired of it all and decided that it was time to make some changes in the industry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeing a disciple of a hobby based on Chemistry, Biology, Geology, and Physics, I feel that an aquarist generally prefers to be told in concrete terms the service that a product will perform and the constituents of the product, itself.

The following recommendations are based upon extensive testing and will produce the best results in most aquaria.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Brightwell Aquatics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41343777177690,"sku":"BW-NEOZ1000","price":20.75,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/1636\/7450\/files\/bw-neoz1000.jpg?v=1743950816"},{"product_id":"brightwell-aquatics-phytochrom-500ml","title":"Brightwell Aquatics Phytochrom - 500ml","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product-description\" style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;;\"\u003e\n\u003ch1 style=\"font-size:24px;font-weight:bold;margin:0 0 10px 0;\"\u003eBrightwell Aquatics Phytochrom - 500ml\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:20px;font-weight:bold;margin:16px 0 6px 0;\"\u003eOverview\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 - 30um Phytoplankton Suspension for Soft Corals, Clams, Sponges, and Other Filter-Feeders Overview\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:20px;font-weight:bold;margin:16px 0 6px 0;\"\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e Provides 6 types of phytoplankton ranging in size from 1 - 30 micron. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Ideally-sized for many soft corals, clams, sponges, tunicates, tube worms, bryozoans, larval crustaceans, and juvenile fishes. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Formulated to provide over 200-million phytoplankton cells per ml. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Does not require refrigeration. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Supplemented with a proprietary amino acid to aid in coloration of invertebrates. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Formulated by a marine scientist. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:20px;font-weight:bold;margin:16px 0 6px 0;\"\u003eInstructions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShake product well before using.

The natural seawater concentration of total silica is ~2.8 ppm, however this concentration varies by depth and region and is likely to be excessive in most marine aquaria. Rather than attempt to maintain this concentration in an aquarium, it is advisable to begin at a very low concentration (e.g. 0.05 ppm) and gradually increase this with time as the rate of silica uptake in the system dictates. Systems with considerable sponge growth tend to be silica-limited, therefore maintaining a silica concentration of ~1 - 2 ppm is likely to be of benefit. Additionally, diatom growth may have a significant impact on the rate of natural latent organic material uptake and recycling in marine aquaria, leading to improved water quality; diatoms are also a valuable food source for various grazing fishes and motile invertebrates. \u003cbr\u003eWe are certainly not advocating that diatoms should be encouraged to grow unchecked in order to help improve water quality, however these organisms, in addition to sponges, can be a valuable part of a natural ecosystem that converts latent organic material into desirable biomass and supports greater biodiversity in closed marine aquaria through the maintenance of diatom- and sponge-grazing organisms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:20px;font-weight:bold;margin:16px 0 6px 0;\"\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e Ionic silica solution for enhancing growth rates of sponges and gastropods. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e 1 drop per gallon of water increases ionic silica concentration by ~0.20 ppm. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e May be employed in silica-limited systems stocked with sponges to improve water quality by increasing the rate of natural latent organic material uptake by these organisms. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e May be used to increase the rate of sponge growth in marine systems housing spongivorous fishes such as marine angelfishes, butterflyfishes, and their allies, providing them with greater access to their natural foods \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Formulated by a marine scientist. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:20px;font-weight:bold;margin:16px 0 6px 0;\"\u003eInstructions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDetermine the silica concentration in the aquarium using an accurate test kit before supplementing. Identify all sources of silica in the aquarium (e.g. fresh water, salt mix, etc.) before determining a rate of dosing for this supplement. Begin with a dosage of 1 drop per 20 US-gallons per day, which will increase the silica concentration in this volume by ~0.01 ppm. \u003cbr\u003e Observe sponges for signs of growth improvement for at least two weeks, which may be significant enough to notice within the first week of dosing. Allow two weeks at this dosage before increasing the dosing volume; increase dosage by up to 10% per week as the perceived silica requirements of the organisms dictate. \u003cbr\u003eMaintaining the silica concentration in a range of 0.5 - 2.0 ppm will generally suffice for most systems; in general, the greater the biomass of silica-dependant organisms and the more available other necessary nutrients are, the greater the demand for soluble silica becomes. If diatom growth becomes abundant, discontinue dosing for 3 - 4 days and then resume dosing at a lower dosage. Note that daily, rather than less frequent, dosing is strongly recommended, as adding a large amount of soluble silica to any marine aquarium all at once is highly likely to result in a diatom bloom. \u003cbr\u003eEach ml of Brightwell Aquatics SpongExcel will increase the concentration of soluble silica [SiO2] in 1 US-gallon (3.785 L) of water by ~4 ppm, or ~0.20 ppm per drop. Determine the required daily dosing rate (recommended to weekly dosing) by measuring the aquarium's [SiO2] at the same time each day over a one- to two-week period. Estimate the volume of water in the entire aquarium system; divide the daily decrease in [SiO2] by 0.20; multiply this number by the volume of water in the system to get the daily dosage required (drops) to maintain a table [SiO2].\u003cstrong\u003eCaution:\u003c\/strong\u003e Silica solutions are caustic; in case of contact flush skin and\/or eyes with fresh water for 15 minutes.

Important: Brightwell recommends the use of MicroBacter7 and Reef Bio Fuel or Katalyst to maintain proper carbon levels for the Chaeto, as well as proper bacterial function in the system. For proper Chaeto growth, Brightwell recommends that the hobbyist maintain a minimum of .01 ppm phosphate and 3 to 5 ppm nitrates in the reef system. If levels fall below these values, proper nutrient control will not efficiently occur.

[Reference: Each g of REEF CODE B-P will increase the alkalinity in 1 US-gallon (3.785 L) of water by ~8.3 dKH (3 meq\/L).] If initial alkalinity in the aquarium is below 7 dKH (2.5 meq\/L), add stock solution at maximum rate of 10 ml per 20 US-gallons daily until desired alkalinity is attained, then dose daily or weekly as needed (see below). Maintain alkalinity within a range of +\/-1 dKH. Once desired alkalinity has been acquired, measure the alkalinity at the same time each day over a one- to two-week period to determine the required rate of alkalinity depletion. To determine daily dosing rate: estimate volume of water in entire aquarium system (US-gal.); divide the daily decrease in alkalinity by 2.1 (when reading dKH); multiply this number by volume of water in system to obtain daily ml of stock solution required to maintain stable alkalinity. Maximum strength of the stock sol�n should not exceed 58.3 g RCBP per 8-fl. oz. purified water. Dose system as required to maintain desired calcium (using REEF CODE A-P) and alkalinity values. Do not mix solutions together; this will cause the active components to precipitate and become ineffective. May be mixed individually in large containers and dosed with a drip- or automated-dosing system; ensure that solutions are entering the system in different areas to prevent precipitation.

Important: Brightwell recommends the use of MicroBacter7 and Reef Bio Fuel or Katalyst to maintain proper carbon levels for the Chaeto, as well as proper bacterial function in the system. For proper Chaeto growth, Brightwell recommends that the hobbyist maintain a minimum of .01 ppm phosphate and 3 to 5 ppm nitrates in the reef system.

Nitrogen is a part of all living cells and is a requisite of the metabolic processes in which proteins, amino acids, coenzymes, and nucleic acids are created. It is an integral part of chlorophyll manufacture through photosynthesis, the process in which light energy is utilized to convert carbon dioxide into carbohydrates, which is in turn used to provide the energy for growth and development.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA percentage of the nitrogen in aquaria is contributed as ammonia and ammonium, components of fish waste and the decomposition of nitrogen-bearing molecules, such as latent dissolved and particulate organic material, however this is not always sufficient to meet the nitrogen requirements posed by plants. Particularly in heavily-planted aquaria with intense lighting, CO2 supplementation, and\/or a minimal stocking of fish, nitrogen can become a limiting nutrient in plant growth; in extreme cases, it can lead to chlorosis, in which the leaves become pale (particularly on older foliage, which tend to be on the periphery). Nitrogen deficiency tends to cause new leaves to be smaller and paler than normal, and overall plant growth to be stunted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe source of nitrogen utilized in Shrimp FlorinGro+ is derived from nitrate compounds. While plants unquestionably make use of ammonium and the constituents of urea very effectively, our experience and extensive research dictate that these compounds be excluded from Shrimp FlorinGro+ as a result of the clear danger they pose to fishes and other non-plant aquarium inhabitants when aquarium pH is greater than 7.0; we feel that these nitrogen sources are useful to aquatic botanists and horticulturists, but that they are not suited to use in an aquarium.

These nutrients are also required by zooxanthellae, and therefore by zooxanthellate invertebrates, for continued existence. \u003cbr\u003eThe ability of microbes to remove nutrients from their surroundings relies upon the presence of adequate supplies of organic carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus; if any one of these nutrients is not present in adequate supply, microbial uptake slows or ceases and the concentrations of the remaining nutrients increases as nutrient input continues.
