Razor Freshwater
Unique Freshwater Systemic System Cleaner designed to target and clean surfaces of rock, driftwood decorations and tank walls
Overview
- Plant safe, complex systemic cleaning polymer product, specifically formulated to clean aquarium rock and decoration surfaces systemically.
- Benefits are:
1. Gentle loosening of ugly accumulations of unwanted substances, debris and coatings which makes their removal by scraping and vacuuming much easier.
2. Flocculation of particulate matter from leftover food, detritus and precipitation
3. Prevents particles from settling on rocks and accumulating
4. Overall cleaning action making the aquarium cleaner, clearer and more desirable
Considerations for Use
It is recommended that activated carbon use be suspended while using this product, as activated carbon can reduce the product’s effectiveness. Once the aquarium has attained the desired appearance, activated carbon can be put back into the filtration system, if desired. Due to the rate at which filters collect particulate material, it may be necessary to clean mechanical filter pads and other media every other day while dosing this product. Simultaneous use with FlorinBacter will have a very synergistic effect.
Sensible feeding should be the first step taken to minimize turbidity and the concentration of dissolved organic materials in any marine aquarium. Water of high clarity that is low in dissolved organic material and possesses the proper parameters is the basis for a healthy aquarium system!
Razor Freshwater is slow acting and may require multiple applications to achieve the effect desired by the user. Used as directed, it is safe for freshwater and brackish fishes, and aquarium live plants, however, as all animals are individuals, and water conditions vary in many aquariums, animals should be observed closely during use, for signs of stress. Do not use with crustaceans (shrimp, crabs or lobsters). If signs of stress occur, or plants are affected negatively, reduce or discontinue use as necessary. If symptoms persist, do a partial water change and add carbon.
Instructions & Guidelines
Shake product well before using! For every 10 gallons ( 38 L ) of aquarium volume, use 1 ml and for every 50 gallons ( 190 L ) of aquarium volume, use 5 ml of this product in a high flow area of the main aquarium. Repeat every 3 days until desired results are obtained. Maintenance: Then dose once a week to maintain the aquarium.
To keep problems to a minimum, Brightwell recommends that all makeup water in the aquarium be filtered by reverse osmosis or deionization to prevent adding phosphates and silicates. Brightwell also recommends that you regularly test phosphates and keep them at a level of .02 ppm or less. You can lower phosphates by the use of Extrax Phos, FerroxiPhos-G or Phosphāt-E. The use of grazing livestock, such as ramshorn snails, nerite snails, plecos, or malaysian trumpet snails can be very helpful in cleaning the rocks and other surfaces. Simultaneous use of FlorinBacter will be very beneficial. The use of RedoxIclean prior to use of this product, to clean up high organic levels or tea colored water will also be beneficial.

Collapsible content
LIGHT
LOW: Place coral at the bottom of the tank. Depending on the type, coral may need to be placed off sand and therefore mounted on a ceramic disc of piece of rock.
MEDIUM: Place coral at mid-range of the tank. Best placed/glued on top of a rock scape at mid-range height.
HIGH: Place coral from mid range to just below water level. SPS coral are shallow growing so they require and are able to tolerate intense light.
FLOW
LOW: Most soft coral do well with a small, gentle pulse. There are certain corals that can even be placed in areas of indirect flow, meaning places aside a rock structure or set into a entrance to a cave style space.
MEDIUM: Many LPS types of coral prefer medium pulse current. Most Euphyllia or corals that have more tissue structure connected to their skeleton, don’t like to be in a high flow area like the direct flow of the wave pump.
HIGH: Similar to high light, SPS enjoy being in some heavy current. Most LPS and SPS that branch encrust or plate prefer high flow that simulates the top water waves.
SKILL
ENTRY: While some may say beginner level, "Entry" is a good term to be used when starting out in the world of corals and marine life. Prior to adding livestock, you want to ensure that your reef has the proper parameters including zero levels of ammonia and nitrite. Seeing traces of nitrate in your waters is a good sign - just keep them at a lower level of 2ppm to 10ppm. Maintaining correct temperature and salinity are a huge factor to stable parameters. Starting to monitor your PH, alkalinity, calcium and magnesium is a great habit to get into to keep a successful reef.
While some soft coral don’t require too much light, having a proper reef light that puts out the proper pars is very important. You'll also want to have a good amount of flow and protected rock areas, as placing corals in their happy spot is ideal for success.
