## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this for fresh water aquariums?**
A: No

**Q: Is this good to help prevent diatom blooms and other new tank syndrome issues**
A: Diatom will happen, more or less diatom may be because of many other factors like too much food or left out food. Cleaning and vacuuming gravel required will help.

A: You can use  automatic dosing machine,

**Q: Purchased microbacter clean 250ml on 2-23-22.  i received 2 bottles of "chaetogro" with a sticker on them saying "microbacter clean".  what gives?**
A: This is a shipping error (obviously) from whomever shipped the product to you.  I would recommend that you return it as the wrong product and get a replacement.  ChaetoGro and Microbacter Clean are nothing like each other.

### ⭐ Do not buy
*by P***M on 6 October 2022*

I've been using this product for over 10 weeks, algae on rocks still exactly the same (Id expect at least a small difference but there’s been no reduction in algae at all) I reduced my lights to 6 hours a day and maximum 50% intensity. Ammonia - 0 Nitrites - 0 Nitrates - 5 Phosphate - 0 Very tough green algae on rocks, tried scrubbing off with toothbrush but doesn't remove anything. So I bought this as it says it will clean rocks however, this has not been the case. Waste of money, might as well have been adding water. Will not be using Brightwell products again - Disappointed.
