Digestion of uneaten/undigested food, excreta, detritus, and other latent organic material, resulting in cleaner and healthier aquarium substrate.
Reduction of organic compounds into nutrients that encourage the growth of photosynthetic organisms.
Greatly-reduced hydrogen sulfide production.
Increase in dissolved oxygen concentration.
Limits availability of pre-existing phosphate to undesirable forms of algae and cyanobacteria.
Increased water clarity.
