PRB is a carefully formulated probiotic blend designed to promote bioremediation , enhance nutrient cycling , and mitigate pathogens in both aquaculture and aquarium systems. Whether you’re managing a large aquaculture operation or a home aquarium, PRB supports water quality, solid waste digestion, and overall system health.
Key Benefits :
Enhanced Nutrient Cycling 🔄 PRB bacteria play a critical role in balancing the nutrient cycle by assimilating solid and dissolved waste . They digest a wide range of organic matter, including:
Fats, lipids, starches, proteins, cellulose
Excess food, excrement, dead plant material, and vegetation
Biological Pathogen Mitigation 🛡️ PRB helps control harmful pathogens through:
Competitive exclusion : Outcompeting harmful bacteria for space and resources.
Production of antagonistic compounds : Naturally occurring compounds produced by PRB bacteria inhibit the growth of harmful pathogens such as:
Columnaris
Streptococcus
Aeromonas
Vibrio (particularly effective for Vibrio control).
Aquaponics Compatibility 🌱 PRB is highly compatible with aquaponic systems , where it colonizes plant roots, enhances nutrient uptake, and stimulates the immune response of aquatic organisms.
Extensive Enzyme Production 🧪 PRB bacteria produce a variety of enzymes that aid in the breakdown of complex organic compounds, improving water clarity and reducing sludge buildup.
Supports Gut Health 🐠 When ingested, PRB bacteria contribute to the gut health of aquatic organisms, improving feed conversion rates and overall resilience.
Biofloc System Enhancement 🌊 PRB is particularly useful in biofloc systems , where it helps regulate and boost biofloc formation, maintaining stable water quality and nutrient levels.
Applications :
PRB is now 10x more concentrated!
1ml per 100L - Once per week
Water Treatment per Bottle :
100ml bottle : Treats 10,000L of water.
250ml bottle : Treats 25,000L of water.
500ml bottle : Treats 50,000L of water.
1L bottle : Treats 100,000L of water.
PRB is STRONG, we recommended starting off at 25% of the recommended dose and adjusting accordingly for water quality and stocking density/nutrient levels.
Frequency of dosing can vary from once per week to once per month depending on application
Pond-Side Culturing Instructions :
For large ponds, PRB can be cultured on-site for more cost-effective dosing using OC-K Nutrient :
Use source water from the pond and sterilize or dechlorinate it.
Fill a container with the sterilized water.
Add 1ml of PRB per litre of culture volume .
Add 5ml of OC-K nutrient per litre of culture volume .
Aerate the mixture for 24-48 hours , depending on temperature (24 hours at 25°C).
Dose the cultured product into the pond at 1000ml per 1,000,000L of pond water.
Dose Rate & Frequency :
These are recommended starting doses . The actual dose rate and frequency should be adjusted based on:
Stocking density
Waste accumulation levels
Specific water quality issues
Enhance your aquatic system’s health and performance with PRB and OC-K Nutrient —your trusted partners in water quality management.
