NO Beta is a biological nitrogen supplement developed by TRITON for reef aquariums. It is an organic and inorganic nitrogen compound designed to precisely adjust nitrogen and nitrate levels.
NO Beta helps create an environment consistent with the N:C:P ratios defined by the TRITON method, thereby helping to limit imbalances that favor cyanobacteria.
NO Beta increases the levels of available nitrogen in a controlled form, promoting better biological stability and more effective bacterial competition against cyanobacteria.
It is particularly used in aquariums with nitrogen levels that are too low, which can lead to a proliferation of cyanobacteria or a slowdown in biological activity.
Reference dosage: 1 ml of NO Beta in 100 L of aquarium water results in the following effects:
| Increase in Nitrogen (N) | +0.022 mg/L |
| Increase in Nitrates (NO3) | +0.1 mg/L |
The dosage should always be adjusted gradually based on analyses and the reaction of the reef system.
In case of discoloration or browning of corals, it is recommended to immediately stop the dosage until normal coloration returns.
An N-DOC laboratory test is essential to precisely determine nitrogen levels and evaluate the N:C:P ratio balance in the aquarium.
The use of NO Beta should be part of a rigorous analytical monitoring approach to avoid any biological imbalance.
