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