NP-BACTO-TRICKS 5 L bucket TROPIC MARIN

Tropic Marin NP-Bacto-Tricks – Biological Filter Media for Aerated Bioreactors

NP-Bacto-Tricks is a trickle filter media intended for the biological reduction of nitrates and phosphates in reef aquariums. It consists of a blend of natural polymers from renewable resources, biodegradable by bacteria and other microorganisms.

During colonization and growth, these biopolymers promote the absorption of nitrates and phosphates present in the water. The nutrients are thus integrated into a valuable microbial biomass, which can serve as a food base for filter feeders or be effectively removed by skimming.

For optimal efficiency, NP-Bacto-Tricks is designed for use in an aerated bioreactor, ensuring sufficient oxygenation for bacterial development and a rapid and stable reduction of nutrients.

Application and Dosage

NP-Bacto-Tricks is designed for exclusive use in aerated bioreactors. Optimal oxygen supply is essential to ensure efficient nutrient degradation.

Recommended initial dosage: 100 ml of NP-Bacto-Tricks per 100 liters of aquarium volume.

After 4 weeks, the amount can be doubled if necessary, without exceeding a maximum of 400 ml per 100 liters of aquarium water.

Vigorous skimming is strongly recommended to remove excess biomass and effectively export nitrates and phosphates out of the system. It is advisable to position the bioreactor outlet near the skimmer inlet.

In case of clogging or accumulation of colloidal particles, the elements can be gently rinsed in aquarium water, then replaced without compacting. The media level should be adjusted according to observed consumption.
