  • Natural organic waste management
  • Rapidly and safely eliminates sludge and detritus
  • Helps increase water clarity
  • Marine and freshwater

Pristine uses bio-augmentation, a non-chemical and natural method, to improve water quality. It provides bacteria that break down excess food, waste and detritus in freshwater and marine systems. It will also reduce excess nutrients (e.g. ammonia, nitrates, and nitrites) that may fuel the growth of nuisance and disease-causing organisms. Pristine™ increases water clarity and promotes overall better health for the aquatic environment.

The bacteria species in Pristine thrive in fresh or salt water and can utilize a wide range of organic compounds, including fats that can cause unsightly films. Unlike traditional nitrifying bacteria, this bacterial blend can adapt to harsh or low oxygen environments and continue to multiply and improve water conditions. Biopolymers produced by established bacterial colonies trap particulates and increase water clarity.

Harper F. ★★★★★

I've been using this in my 55-gallon freshwater tank for a couple of weeks, and the bio-augmentation approach really seems to be working—I'm noticing less sludge building up on the gravel. The water looks noticeably clearer too, which is a nice bonus.

Robert ★★★★★

My 55-gallon tank was getting that ugly brown layer on the gravel, and this cleared it up noticeably in about three days. The bio-augmentation approach feels much safer than dumping chemicals in with my tetras.

Matthew ★★★★☆

I've been using this in my freshwater tank for a few weeks now, and it's noticeably reduced the detritus buildup on the gravel. The bio-augmentation approach feels safer than harsh chemicals. Water clarity is better, though I wish it worked a bit faster.
