Get Your Coral Ready To Eat
Corals are the foundation of a thriving reef aquarium, but feeding them can be a challenge.
Polyp Ignite is a polyp stimulator that enhances coral feeding. Unlike other pets, corals don’t instinctively respond to feeding cues, so they may not take in food unless their polyps are fully extended. Polyp Ignite triggers polyp extension, ensuring corals are ready to absorb nutrients. It also promotes tissue growth and vibrant coloration by improving nutrient absorption and providing bioavailable pigments. For the best results, use Polyp Ignite before feeding with either the Brightwell Aquatics’ Reef Blizzard food line or their brand new Coral Inertia NRG+.
Simplify Your Coral Feeding
Are you confused about dosing vitamins, amino acids, lipids, or food to your corals? Yeah, we all understand. That’s why Brightwell Aquatics created Coral Inertia NRG+, an advanced, all-in-one superfood, rich in marine proteins, amino acids, and omega-3 fatty acids. This takes the guesswork out with an all-in-one food source for corals and makes the workload easier than ever because it can be dosed.
It promotes coral health, rapid growth, reproduction, and vibrant coloration. Particularly beneficial for stressed corals, it supports their increased reliance on external feeding for nutrients. When paired with Polyp Ignite, Coral Inertia NRG+ provides the vitamins, minerals, and amino acids corals need to thrive easier than ever before.
Together, Polyp Ignite and Coral Intertia NRG+ reduce the hassle of coral feeding while helping maintain a vibrant, healthy reef aquarium.
Got Purple (Bacteria)?
Beneficial bacteria are essential for maintaining a balanced, clean, and healthy reef aquarium. They break down waste, control nutrients, prevent disease, and support coral growth. Brightwell Aquatics' MicroBacter line is renowned for its scientifically driven solutions, featuring high-quality products like MicroBacter7, MicroBacter Clean, and MicroBacter Start XLM (or XLF for freshwater setups).
Are you looking to add more diversity to your existing bacterial population?
Then try Brightwell Aquatics’ new MicroBacter Purple M, a unique purple non-sulfur bacteria (PNSB) blend designed to remove excess nutrients, improving water clarity and supporting overall aquarium health. This advanced supplement enhances natural nutrient cycling and biological filtration while working synergistically with MicroBacter7 and MicroBacter Clean to create the widest net of beneficial bacteria that a mature reef aquarium needs.
MicroBacter Purple M features dual aerobic and anaerobic functions, making it effective in deep sand beds, refugiums, media reactors, and main displays. It aids in denitrification and supports both aerobic and anaerobic bacterial populations. Safe for all tank inhabitants, it offers a natural, chemical-free method for managing nitrogen and phosphorus levels and it serves as a natural food source for corals.
Like all MicroBacter products, MicroBacter Purple M is shelf-stable, requiring no refrigeration, and provides an affordable, effective solution for nutrient control in marine and reef aquariums.
