The Heart of Bioremediation

MICROBIAL FORMULATIONS

Multi-strain biological water conditioners selected for specific aquatic outcomes — from broad-spectrum water conditioning to targeted nitrogen reduction and substrate health.

🦠

Microplex

25 synergistic strains at 6.5 × 10¹⁰ CFU/g. Complete biological water conditioning — nitrification core, waste recycling, and microbial balance from ammonia oxidation through to sludge digestion. FW & marine, 4°C–35°C.

⚗️

Nitroplex

16 strains cultured together at ≥1 × 10¹⁰ CFU/mL. Complete aerobic nitrogen reduction — full NH₃, NO₂ and NO₃ management without anoxic zones, methanol, or H₂S risk. (formerly known as NCOMP)

🌿

SUB-6

6 Bacillus strains at >135 billion CFU/g. Digests organic sludge, remineralises waste into phytoplankton fuel, and mobilises locked-up N, P, K and Si — closing the nutrient loop.

🔋

OC-K

100% organic growth fuel. Alcohol-free carbon donors from digested marine biomass with a metalloenzyme core — stable 24-hour microbial fuelling. All BTA strains are pre-adapted to it.

🌊

PMX8

8 strains at 1 × 10¹¹ CFU/g for display and reef water quality. Spore-forming Bacillus, Streptomyces, Rhodotorula and Bdellovibrio establish a resilient beneficial biofilm and clear, stable water.

Built For Your System

CUSTOM MIXING & OEM FORMULATION

Every system is different. Source individual strains, request a pre-made consortium, or have us mix a fully bespoke blend based on your water chemistry and bioload.

🧬

Microbe Market

23 individual strains in 10g packages, pre-made consortiums, and a custom mixing & OEM formulation service for exact specifications. Open strain library, full traceability.

Tailored Use Rates
Every blend ships with a use-rate schedule — start-up rates, maintenance phases, and OC-K pairing spelled out.
Real-World Use Cases

APPLICATIONS & INDUSTRIES

From commercial hatcheries to coral propagation systems, our microbial range is selected for the demands of every aquatic environment.

🐟

Aquaculture & Hatcheries

Stable water at commercial scale. Ammonia and nitrite control, rapid waste mineralisation, and bulk packaging for high-density grow-out and larval rearing.

🐠

Aquarium Display Systems

Crystal-clear, stable water for display tanks, retail livestock and quarantine. Stable nitrogen cycles, reduced water change frequency, compatible with all biofilters.

🪸

Coral & Reef Systems

Ultra-stable water chemistry for coral farms and high-end reefs. DOC reduction, water clarity support, and mineral cycle stability. Coral farm tested.

🏭

Water Treatment

Industrial bioremediation of nutrient-rich effluent, sludge ponds and dams. Drives waste through to phytoplankton biomass with custom blends for site chemistry.

What Makes BTA Microbes Different

THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE BLENDS

BTA blends aren't generic bacterial powders. Every consortium is chosen, adapted and mixed around six core principles.

⚖️

Microbial Balance & Diversity

Fast colonisers. Diverse, resilient biofilm communities on surfaces, substrate and filter media — supporting a stable microbial ecosystem and consistent water quality.

🔋

Specialised Nutrition

OC-K fuel. 100% organic, alcohol-free nutrient matrix — the exact carbon and trace elements our strains are acclimatised to eat. Zero start-up lag, no boom-and-bust cycles.

🎯

Aquaculture-Adapted

Purpose-selected strains. Chosen for aquatic systems, not repurposed from terrestrial products. True co-cultured consortia replicating a mature, high-performance biofilter.

🧪

Application-Specific Blending

Targeted consortia. SUB-6 for sludge and minerals, PMX8 for display clarity, Nitroplex for nitrogen-cycle completion — or custom blends mixed to your system.

⚙️

Continuous Enzyme Production

Waste breakdown. Proteases, carbohydrases and lipases dismantle sludge, detritus and uneaten feed into compounds nitrifiers and plants can use — waste back into food.

💧

Complete Water Quality

Whole-system outcomes. Nitrogen cycle completion, organic waste breakdown, water clarity and biofilter health — every blend works across the full system.
