PRB - Probiotic Remediation Bacteria
PRB - Probiotic Remediation Bacteria
Now 10x more concentrated!
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.

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.
