Brightwell RedoxIclean 500mL

• Immediately improves water quality in all manner of aquaria by enhancing the rate of particulate and dissolved organic material decomposition, enabling the constituents to be more effectively removed with protein skimming, activated carbon, and other means of biological and chemical filtration.
• Safe for use with all fishes, invertebrates, and plants.
• Particularly useful: in heavily-stocked, heavily-fed aquaria; during "hiccups" in water
  quality in which the elevated concentration of organic material in the aquarium would negatively impact the health of the inhabitants.
• Reacts completely; leaves no residual.
• Formulated by a marine scientist.

At some time, most aquarists will experience a situation in which a sudden spike in the amount of dissolved and/or particulate organic material in an aquarium poses a significant risk to the health of the aquarium inhabitants. Fundamentally, all aquarium inhabitants, regardless of their purchase price, abundance, or origin should be cared for with the same attention to maintaining water quality, but there is little question that an aquarist who has invested massive resources in fishes, invertebrates, and/or plants stands to lose a considerable deal if water quality degrades to the point in which these organisms begin to perish. The typical approach to correct this problem is to employ a large-scale water change and activated carbon or similar means of chemical filtration to help remove the substances responsible for water quality degradation. However, there are times when employing these methods will not work fast enough. Similarly, if the bioload of the aquarium is significantly increased by the addition of new inhabitants, a spike in the concentration of organic material can ensue that will negatively impact the health of all inhabitants in the system.

RedoxIclean is a useful tool for hobbyists wishing to support the existing biological and chemical filtration while it adjusts to an increase in bioload and/or the concentration of organic material in an aquarium (whether intentional or accidental). It performs this task by immediately reacting with latent (non-living) organic material and breaking it down at a molecular level, making it more readily removable for biological and chemical filtration. Most experienced aquarium hobbyists learn to "expect the unexpected"; having a bottle of RedoxIclean on hand can help lower the impact of, and in some cases avoid, organic-related problems to such an extent that pre-existing filtration is able to gradually adjust and compensate for any residual latent organic material. It is helpful to monitor the ORP in an aquarium, particularly in heavily-stocked systems (regardless of their overall volume); a sudden and unusual decrease in the ORP essentially indicates that the concentration of organic material in the aquarium has increased above normal levels. Such an increase usually results in elevated ammonia and phosphate concentrations; left unchecked, the aquarium inhabitants and display will begin to suffer.
