Sea salt

To curb the appearance of algae, we recommend using additive-free sea salt, such as Instant Ocean.

Magnesium and calcium

Keep an eye on the amount of magnesium and calcium added. Any unconsumed excess can encourage the appearance of algae.

Aquarium lighting

Powerful or poorly adjusted lighting will encourage algae and cyanobacteria growth. We recommend you to reduce the intensity of LEDs, particularly reds and blues, under which algae and cyanobacteria flourish.

Our Bactoreef and Microfauna Booster products

Our Bactoreef and Microfauna Booster products and our reseeding kit have been specially designed to prevent the appearance of cyanobacteria and algae. Based on living bacteria, phytoplankton, bacterioplankton and micro-organisms specific to seawater, they are designed to bring equilibrium to the aquarium.
