Brightwell Garlic Power 30 ml — Garlic appetite stimulant Reef Marine Aquarium - Brightwell

Brightwell Garlic Power — raw garlic extract for marine fish

The Brightwell Garlic Power delivers the nutritional benefits of raw garlic to marine fish, primarily through food enrichment. The product consists solely of preserved raw garlic extract with a small amount of vitamin C as a preservative. Formulated by a marine scientist, it needs no refrigeration after opening.

In aquarium keeping, adding garlic to a fish diet is associated with better health — particularly against ectoparasites — and with triggering feeding response in new arrivals or finicky fish. Brightwell notes: no medical claim is made for Garlic Power.

What Garlic Power is for and when to use it

• Fish refusing food — a newly arrived fish, a picky eater, a fish stressed after moving tanks.
• Suspected ectoparasites — dietary support alongside a treatment, at half dose.
• Daily enrichment — flakes, pellets, or liquid food fortified with garlic to stimulate appetite.
• Hard-to-acclimate fish — angels, butterflies, mandarins that need a feeding trigger.

Brightwell official use

Brightwell recommends using Garlic Power EITHER as a food enricher OR as a direct tank addition — not both at the same time, except as noted.

• Prepared food enrichment: shake well before use, place food in a clean container, add only enough Garlic Power to saturate, then wait at least 5 minutes before feeding so the product is absorbed.
• Liquid suspensions: add 1.0 mL (~8 drops) of Garlic Power per 10 mL of food suspension.
• Direct tank addition: 5 mL (1 capful) per 50 US gal (189 L) of aquarium water every other day, or half that dose daily. 125 mL treats up to 1,250 US gal (4,732 L).
• Suspected ectoparasites: add at half the recommended dose.
• Over several months, the dose may be increased 50 % if water quality holds.

Frequently asked questions

Can Garlic Power be added directly to tank water?

Yes — that is one of the two official Brightwell methods: 5 mL (1 capful) per 50 US gal every other day, or half that dose daily. A 125 mL bottle treats up to 1,250 US gal at direct-tank dosing. Note: Brightwell states you should pick one method at a time — either food fortification or tank addition.

How do I dose Garlic Power if I suspect ectoparasites?

Brightwell recommends half the usual dose when ectoparasites are suspected. This avoids loading the water with sulfur compounds that could stress invertebrates — the goal is to improve fish health through diet, not saturate the water column.

Does Garlic Power need to be refrigerated after opening?

No — Brightwell states explicitly that the product does not require refrigeration. The vitamin C preservative allows room-temperature storage after opening. Close carefully and keep away from direct light.

How many drops of Garlic Power to enrich liquid food?

Brightwell publishes 1.0 mL (~8 drops) per 10 mL of liquid food suspension. Stir well, let sit at least 5 minutes before feeding to allow full absorption.
