Special Blend 473ml

Special Blend is a bacteria-based water preparation for hobbyists running freshwater or marine aquariums who want to stabilise water chemistry and reduce routine maintenance. It is chemical-free and is intended for new tanks that need to mature faster, as well as established systems with a build-up of organic waste.

Why it matters

• The live bacteria lower ammonia levels and speed up the breakdown of nitrates, which supports more stable water between maintenance sessions.
• By reducing organic waste, it lowers the frequency of water changes and allows the tank to be cleaned less often.
• It accelerates the breakdown of deposits settling on the substrate, plants and rocks, and speeds up the removal of proteins.
• It removes unpleasant odours and cloudiness, and supports plant condition and their ability to photosynthesise.

Specifications

• Brand: Microbe-Lift
• Model: Special Blend
• Symbol: Microbe Special Blend 473ml
• EAN: 097121211118
• Volume: 473 ml
• Weight: 0.5 kg
• Dosing, freshwater and marine: day 1 – 15 ml per 40/50 l of water; days 8, 15, 22 and 29 – 10 ml per 40/50 l; afterwards – 5 ml per 40/50 l once a week
• Marine tanks: dose 24 hours after salting the water. Salt slows bacterial activity, so for faster results the doses above can be increased by 25–50%

What it works with

The product is listed in the water chemistry and treatment category and is suited to both freshwater and marine aquariums. Dosing is calculated per 40/50 litres of water, so the amount used should be matched to the actual volume of the tank.
