Overview

Remedi8 is a dry, broad-spectrum microbial inoculant formulated to reduce dissolved organics (DOC), ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate, while improving water clarity in reef and fish-only marine aquariums. The curated consortium colonizes rock, sand, and filtration media, accelerating natural bio-oxidation and bio-assimilation pathways for a cleaner, more stable system.

Key Features

• Nutrient control: Assists conversion/uptake of NH₃/NH₄⁺ → NO₂⁻ → NO₃⁻ and supports nitrate reduction via biomass assimilation

• Clarity boost: Lowers DOC that fuels film/algae; promotes crisp, polished water

• Balanced consortium: Nitrifiers + beneficial heterotrophs for robust, resilient biofilms

• Clean formula: No dyes, perfumes, or binders; reef-safe when used as directed

• Flexible use: Slurry dose to the system or spot-apply to media/rock

Directions & Dosing

Start conservatively; monitor nutrients (NH₃/NH₄⁺, NO₂⁻, NO₃⁻) and observe livestock.

Prepare a Slurry

• Mix ¼ tsp (~0.5 g) per 10 gal (38 L) in a cup of tank water. Stir 1–2 minutes.

New or Problem Systems (elevated nutrients/cloudy water)

• Dose the slurry at ¼ tsp (~0.5 g) per 10 gal (38 L) daily for 3–5 days, then test.

• Continue every other day for 1 week or until clarity and nutrients stabilize.

Routine Maintenance / Established Reefs

• ¼ tsp (~0.5 g) per 20–25 gal (75–95 L) once weekly.

• After large water changes or heavy feeding events, add one extra maintenance dose.

Best Practices

• Turn off UV/ozone and remove filter socks for 12–24 hours after each dose to maximize colonization.

• You may pause the skimmer 4–12 hours to reduce immediate export of the new bacteria.

• Dose into a high-flow area, sump, or directly over rock/media.

• Avoid simultaneous use of oxidizers/antibiotics. Resume UV/ozone the next day.

Temporary mild haze after dosing is normal and typically clears within several hours. If any livestock shows stress, perform a partial water change, increase aeration, and reduce subsequent doses by 50%.

Compatibility

• Safe for SPS/LPS/soft corals, clams, and reef-safe fishes when used as directed.

• Compatible with Ca/Alk/Mg regimens, amino acids, carbon sources, and phosphate management (avoid dosing at the same time as strong chemical flocculants or sterilizers).

Ingredients

• Dry blend of marine-safe, non-pathogenic bacteria (nitrifying and beneficial heterotrophs) with inert carriers.

Storage & Handling

• Store cool, dry, and tightly sealed.

• Do not refrigerate or freeze the dry powder.

• Use clean, dry utensils to prevent moisture ingress.

• Keep out of reach of children and pets.
