Brightwell Aquatics FlorinBacter

Overview

Build a cleaner, more stable freshwater ecosystem—fast. FlorinBacter delivers a balanced community of beneficial bacteria formulated for freshwater and planted aquaria, rapidly establishing biological filtration, reducing dissolved organics that cause haze/film, and supporting long-term clarity without harsh chemicals.

Key Features

• Freshwater-tuned consortium – Nitrifiers and supporting heterotrophs for ammonia → nitrite → nitrate conversion and organic reduction.

• Speeds maturation – Shortens the “new tank” phase and helps prevent common startup issues.

• Plant & shrimp safe – Safe for aquascapes, community fish, snails, and inverts when used as directed.

• Great after maintenance – Re-seeds biofilms post filter cleaning, media swaps, or power outages.

• Clear-water support – Helps curb cloudiness and film by breaking down excess food and waste.

Directions

1. Dechlorinate first. Neutralize chlorine/chloramine before dosing.

2. Shake very well.

3. Turn OFF UV/ozone/oxidizers for 24–48 hrs after each dose to allow colonization.

4. New aquariums: Dose daily per label for 7–14 days, testing ammonia/nitrite/nitrate.

5. Established tanks: Dose weekly (or after water changes/media service) per label.

6. Maintain strong aeration/flow. Do not overdose.

Temporary haze after dosing can be normal and clears as the filter catches up.

Best Practices (Planted & Community)

• Typical temps 72–80°F (22–27°C); pH stable within 6.2–7.8 (match livestock).

• Rinse mechanical media often so biofilms receive oxygenated flow.

• Use high-surface-area media (sponge, ceramic, biomedia) and ensure steady circulation through it.

• For aquascapes: keep CO₂, macro/micro nutrients, and light consistent; avoid rapid swings.

Compatibility

• Works with sponges, HOBs, canisters, sumps, fluidized beds, and soils/substrates used in planted tanks.

• Safe with plants, shrimp, snails, and most conditioners.

• Space at least 24–48 hrs from medications or peroxide.
