Description
Aquatic Tonic is more than a bottled bacteria product—it is a living bacterial plankton ecosystem researched and
developed to emulate and improve upon naturally occurring microbial communities found throughout aquatic
holobiomes.
Every bottle contains a proprietary consortium of rigorously selected, non-pathogenic, beneficial microbes.
Together, these metabolically diverse and physiologically robust microorganisms cycle carbon, nitrogen, sulfur, and
phosphorus; support biological filtration and bio-remediation; improve water quality; and help establish long-term
ecological homeostasis in closed aquarium systems.
Aquatic Tonic helps establish or restore a healthy microbial community, stabilize erratic parameters, reduce organic
waste and filtration odors, maintain cleaner substrates and filtration media, and support intermediate- to low-nutrient
aquarium conditions. By strengthening beneficial microbial communities and improving nutrient cycling, it also helps
reduce conditions that favor freshwater cyanobacteria, bacterial blooms, and nuisance algae.
As its microbial community grows, Aquatic Tonic continually produces nutritious living bacterial plankton that
supports fish fry, shrimp, daphnia, freshwater copepods, infusoria, mollusks, filter feeders, and other beneficial
microfauna. Developed primarily for freshwater aquariums, it may also be used to increase microbial diversity in
marine systems.
