Product Description

Thanks to its specially developed bacterial mixture consisting of 100% living bacteria, Special Blend ensures a stable biological cycle in freshwater and saltwater aquariums by supporting the degradation and composting of organic substances and releasing elements such as sulfur and nitrogen.

Benefits:

  • Breakdown of organic waste
  • Improved nutrient uptake and growth of corals and plants
  • Reduces waste such as plant residues, feed and faeces
  • Ensures the breakdown of protein compounds
  • Reduces nitrate and ammonium
  • Promotes a healthy population of useful microorganisms
  • Reduces the need for water changes
  • Provides crystal clear water
  • Removes odours

Application and dosage:

  • Starting dose: Day 1: 25 ml to 100 l water / Day 8, 15, 22, 29: 15 ml to 100 l water
  • Maintenance dosage: 7.5 ml per 100 l of water every 14 days

Please note the following:

  • The initially perceptible sulfur smell of Special Blend disappears after dosing.
  • Since Special Blend is a biological ecosystem in the bottle, there may be deviations in smell, colour and appearance.
  • When setting up new saltwater aquariums, you should only add Special Blend 24 hours after the seawater has been set up.
  • For optimal results, you should dose Special Blend directly into the aquarium during the light phase.
  • Since UV light and ozone can kill bacteria, you should switch them off for 12 to 24 hours during use.
  • Make sure to offer bacteria sufficient settlement area in the form of appropriate filter media such as ceramic rings.
  • Since bacteria can lower the pH value, you should check it regularly.
  • Since seawater inhibits bacterial growth, you can add 25 to 50 percent more for faster results.
  • After using medication, dosing should only take place after 72 hours.
  • Make sure there is sufficient oxygen / circulation in your aquarium.
  • In combination with TheraP, Special Blend is the optimal biological complete solution for the care of your aquarium and its inhabitants.

  • Vibrant plants

    First purchase this week and I was so pleased. The plants were so healthy and vibrant. It's got me thinking about replanting my other tank with more plants! Will definately be buying from them again

  • Quick service, fantastic plants

    I have ordered from Aquarium Gardens for the first time after seeing them on social media. Well what can I say except WOW, the plants were a really good price, they arrived on time actually quicker than I expected! They arrived in absolutely fantastic condition as if I had picked them out myself, well packaged. The plants themselves were bigger than what I expected to get so definitely value for money and the root systems were well established, can't wait to see them get bigger in my aquariums. Will definitely buy from this company again.
