Seachem Pristine is a bio-augmentation treatment for freshwater and marine aquariums that uses beneficial bacteria to break down sludge, detritus, and excess food. It also helps reduce ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates while improving water clarity. Unlike traditional nitrifying bacteria, these cultures adapt to low-oxygen environments and create biopolymers that trap particulates. It suits aquarists dealing with organic waste buildup or cloudy water, though it is not a substitute for regular maintenance.

Users report that Pristine effectively reduces sludge and clears cloudy water, with many noting visible improvement within days. Some find it less effective in heavily stocked tanks or when used without addressing underlying issues.
Seachem Pristine is an aquarium water treatment for freshwater and marine tanks. It uses bio-augmentation, a chemical-free, natural process that breaks down waste, sludge, excess food and detritus. It also reduces ammonia, nitrates and nitrites, and improves water clarity.
Beneficial bacteria cultures break down and remove potentially harmful compounds in the water. Removing excess nutrients reduces the risk of nuisance and disease-causing organisms. Unlike traditional nitrifying bacteria, the bacteria in Pristine can adapt, multiply and stay effective in harsh or low-oxygen environments. As they consume harmful compounds, they create biopolymers that trap particulates and increase water clarity.
Shake well before use and turn off UV and ozone. Add 1 capful (5 mL) for each 40 L (10 US gallons). Antibiotics should be removed with fresh carbon and a water change before adding bacteria. Recurring problems with high nutrients can point to overstocking, overfeeding or inadequate filtration.
