Brightwell Aquatics' SpongExcel is a scientifically formulated ionic silica solution designed to enhance the growth rates of sponges and gastropods in marine aquariums. Silica is a critical nutrient for organisms such as sponges, diatoms, and certain marine creatures. SpongExcel helps maintain optimal silica levels, allowing sponges to flourish and improve natural water filtration. This increased sponge growth promotes organic material uptake, improving water quality and creating a healthier tank environment.

This product is especially effective in systems with spongivorous fish, including marine angelfishes and butterflyfishes, which rely on healthy sponge populations as a food source. SpongExcel's targeted dosing formula raises silica levels slowly and steadily, ensuring that the growth of sponges and the natural filtering process are enhanced without overwhelming the system.

Formulated by marine scientists, SpongExcel ensures that your marine aquarium benefits from a more vibrant and sustainable ecosystem. Whether you're looking to increase sponge growth or improve water quality, this solution is an essential part of your aquarium care routine.

DIRECTIONS

  1. Test silica levels in your aquarium.

  2. Identify silica sources (e.g. salt mix, freshwater).

  3. Begin with 1 drop per 20 gallons daily.

  4. Monitor sponge growth over 2 weeks.

  5. Maintain dosage for 2 weeks before increasing.

  6. Increase dosage by up to 10% per week if needed after retesting silica levels.

  7. Aim for 0.5-2.0 ppm silica concentration.

  8. Discontinue dosing for 3-4 days if diatom blooms appear.

  9. Resume dosing at a lower amount.

  10. Check silica levels regularly and adjust dosing.

  11. Caution: Keep out of reach of children. Not for human consumption.
