Special Blend 251ml

Special Blend 251 ml is a bacterial preparation for keepers of freshwater and marine aquariums who want to reduce the frequency of water changes and the amount of cleaning. The manufacturer describes it as a chemical-free product built on live bacteria, intended for both new and established tanks.

Why it matters

• Live bacteria lower ammonia levels and speed up the breakdown of nitrates, which supports stable water chemistry between water changes.
• It accelerates the decomposition of organic deposits settling on the substrate, plants and rocks, and speeds up the removal of proteins.
• According to the manufacturer, it shortens the maturing period of a new aquarium and removes unpleasant odour and cloudiness from the water.
• The manufacturer states that it supports plant condition and photosynthesis, and encourages plant growth.

Specifications

• Weight: 0.25 kg
• Manufacturer symbol: Microbe Special Blend 236

• Maintenance dosing after the initial period: 5 ml per 40–50 l of water, once a week
• Marine aquariums: add 24 hours after salinity is set; the manufacturer suggests increasing doses by 25–50% for faster results, as salt water slows bacterial activity

What it works with

The preparation is intended for both freshwater and marine aquariums, with dosing given per 40–50 litres of water. It is a good fit for tanks where a new setup needs to mature quickly or where organic load and water quality call for more frequent attention. Dosing should follow the schedule above, adjusted to the tank volume.
