## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this for fresh water aquariums?**
A: No

**Q: Is this good to help prevent diatom blooms and other new tank syndrome issues**
A: Diatom will happen, more or less diatom may be because of many other factors like too much food or left out food. Cleaning and vacuuming gravel required will help.

A: You can use  automatic dosing machine,

**Q: Purchased microbacter clean 250ml on 2-23-22.  i received 2 bottles of "chaetogro" with a sticker on them saying "microbacter clean".  what gives?**
A: This is a shipping error (obviously) from whomever shipped the product to you.  I would recommend that you return it as the wrong product and get a replacement.  ChaetoGro and Microbacter Clean are nothing like each other.
