This mode of filtration is at work in any aquarium system housing live organisms. Though microbes (e. g. bacteria) are arguably responsible for the majority of nutrient-remineralization that takes place, oceanographic studies have shown that up to 90% of the dissolved organic carbon present in seawater may be assimilated by planktonic bacteria (bacterioplankton). This nutrient assimilation simultaneously removes nitrogen (as ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate) and phosphorus (as phosphate) from the water, making bacterioplankton a very effective sink of dissolved organic material that would otherwise fuel the growth of organisms such as cyanobacteria and filamentous algae in aquaria. Bacterioplankton are also an important food source for organisms that are able to capture them from the water column. In a sense, utilizing these microbes to control dissolved organic material and then gradually removing the microbes themselves on a continuous basis through protein skimming and the feeding activities of corals, clams, tube worms, tunicates, sponges, and their respective allies, becomes an effective means of nutrient-harvest. Simultaneously, it promotes the health of these suspension-feeding organisms through constant feeding (encouraging polyp-expansion in many types of corals), and promotes water quality. The entire process requires that adequate carbon be present in a usable form. In aquaria with a tendency towards elevated phosphate and nitrate concentrations, an appropriate source of carbon may quickly become depleted. Reef BioFuel provides a source of bioavailable carbon to ensure that nutrient remineralization is efficient and effective. ## Features - manufacturer: TopDawg Pet Supply - Item Trademark: TOPDAWG PET SUPPLY - Item Weight: pounds, pounds, 1., 1. - Item Category: Aquarium Pond Water Treatment ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0027J6NXU | | ASIN | B0027J6NXU | | Allergen Information | Sulphites Free | | Best Sellers Rank | #54,726 in Pet Supplies ( See Top 100 in Pet Supplies ) #496 in Aquarium Water Treatments | | Brand Name | Brightwell Aquatics | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (93) | | Date First Available | June 24, 2004 | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00810086012312 | | Included Components | Reef BioFuel | | Item Form | Liquid | | Item Type Name | Water Conditioner | | Item Weight | 16 ounces | | Item model number | BIO2L | | Liquid Volume | 2 liters | | Manufacturer | Brightwell Aquatics | | Manufacturer | Brightwell Aquatics | | Manufacturer Part Number | BIO2L | | Model Number | BIO2L | | Pet Type | Fish | | Product Dimensions | 2.75 x 6.25 x 8 inches; 1 pounds | | Target Species | Fish | | UPC | 810086012312 611102236503 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Brightwell Aquatics - **Item Form:** Liquid - **Item Weight:** 16 ounces - **Liquid Volume:** 2 liters - **Unit Count:** 1 Count ## Images ![Brightwell Aquatics Reef BioFuel - Carbon Source for Natural Phosphate and Nitrate Reduction for all Marine and Reef Aquariums - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71a30-O8kXL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Frequently Bought Together - Brightwell Aquatics Reef BioFuel - Organic Carbon Supplement for Marine and Reef Aquariums, Aiding Bacterioplankton Growth That Promotes Rapid Phosphate and Nitrate Reduction, 2 L - Brightwell Aquatics MicroBacter7 Complete Bioculture for Fish Tank or Aquarium - Populates Biological Filter Media for Saltwater and Freshwater Fish - Aquarium Water Treatments, 67.6 fl oz - Brightwell Aquatics MicroBacter Clean - Microbial Culture & Enzyme Blend Fish Tank Cleaner - Cleans Live Rock Surfaces for Saltwater Fish Habitats - Aquarium Water Treatments, 67.6 fl oz --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/403093081-brightwell-aquatics-reef-biofuel-carbon-source-for-natural-phosphate-nitrate](https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/403093081-brightwell-aquatics-reef-biofuel-carbon-source-for-natural-phosphate-nitrate) --- *Product available on Desertcart Panama* *Store origin: PA* *Last updated: 2026-10-02*
