CCREEF PNS Bacteria (Rhodopseudomonas palustris)
Similar to Hydrospace PNS ProBio:
CCREEF PNS Bacteria contains the same core species
Rhodopseudomonas palustris
and offers comparable reef-safe probiotic benefits, nutrient reduction, and coral health support.
Overview
CCREEF PNS Bacteria is a powerful, naturally-occurring microbial supplement that mirrors the functionality of the popular
Hydrospace PNS ProBio
product. Like PNS ProBio, it contains
Rhodopseudomonas palustris
, a highly adaptable strain of Purple Non-Sulfur Bacteria (PNSB) that supports nutrient cycling, coral nutrition, and overall ecosystem balance in aquatic environments.
Key Benefits
Nutrient Cycling:
Reduces Nitrate and Phosphate levels, helping prevent algae blooms and improving water clarity.
Additional Nutrition:
Offers a natural food source for filter-feeding invertebrates and other aquatic life.
Metabolic Versatility:
Capable of photoautotrophic, photoheterotrophic, chemoautotrophic, and chemoheterotrophic metabolism.
Probiotic Support:
Enhances disease resistance in many cultured plant and animal species.
Why CCREEF PNS Bacteria?
Just like Hydrospace’s PNS ProBio, this product is based on
R. palustris
, offering similar benefits including ammonia and phosphate removal, probiotic support for fish and corals, and improved coral coloration and polyp extension especially for Acropora species. Its ability to colonize coral tissues and provide vitamin-rich nutrition makes it a vital addition for any reef keeper or large tank hobbyist (300–600 gal).
Instructions & Handling
Feeding Instructions
Dose after lights off; begin every other day, increasing to daily as needed. Once desired results are reached, reduce frequency. Turn off UV, skimmers, and ozone for 1–24 hours post-dosing. Keep exposed to some ambient light. Store at room temperature. Not for human consumption. Strong odor upon first use is completely normal.
Dosing Schedule
Week One:
Half dose (0.5–0.625 ml per gallon), dosed at night with filtration off.
Week Two:
Full dose (1–1.25 ml/gal) every other day.
Week Three+:
Full dose daily or alternate days to conserve.
Can be used with a dosing system.
Shelf Life
Up to 8 months when sealed.
Handling Note
Open packaging carefully to avoid puncturing the product.
Shipping Information

Nutrient Management Insight
Properly managing phosphate and nitrate levels is essential in reef systems to prevent algae plagues and enhance coral health. CCREEF PNS Bacteria supports a thriving reef by reducing excess nutrients while still maintaining the low levels necessary for coral vitality.
