Seachem Pristine
Rapidly and safely eliminates sludge and detritus.
Pristine™ uses bio-augmentation, a non-chemical and natural method, to improve water quality. It provides bacteria that break down excess food, waste and detritus in freshwater and marine systems. It will also reduce excess nutrients (e.g. ammonia, nitrates, and nitrites) that may fuel the growth of nuisance and disease-causing organisms. Pristine™ increases water clarity and promotes overall better health for the aquatic environment.
The species of bacteria in Pristine™ are a unique blend, specifically developed for hardiness and their ability to adapt to a wide variety of environmental conditions.
The bacteria species in Pristine™ thrive in fresh or salt water and can utilize a wide range of organic compounds, including fish waste, uneaten food, and decaying plant matter.

Used Pristine in a 55-gallon freshwater tank with a lot of algae and leftover food. Within a week, the water became noticeably clearer and the fish seemed more active. No chemical smell or side effects. Works well with my filter system.
Charles Paterson –
Added Pristine to a marine tank with high nitrate levels. Saw a reduction in algae growth after two weeks. The bacteria seem to adapt well to the saltwater environment. A reliable, natural solution.

Great product for maintaining water quality. I use it monthly in my planted tank. The detritus buildup has decreased significantly, and the water looks cleaner overall. No need for chemical treatments.
