NP-BACTO-BALANCE 1000 ml bottle TROPIC MARIN

Tropic Marin NP-Bacto-Balance – Biological Nutrient Management

In reef aquariums, ideal conditions for corals and sponges are achieved when nitrates and phosphates are maintained at very low and stable concentrations. NP-Bacto-Balance has been developed to promote the natural incorporation of these nutrients into additional biomass, through a targeted blend of organic carbon compounds and suitable inorganic nutrients.

This mechanism allows for the effective reduction of nitrates and phosphates in the water while avoiding deficiency situations. Corals, sponges, and other filter organisms thus benefit from a balanced environment, conducive to better coloration, harmonious growth, and increased vitality.

Nitrates and phosphates can be stabilized at particularly low levels when NP-Bacto-Balance is used in combination with biological filter media made of biopolymers, such as NP-Bacto-Pellets or NP-Bacto-Tricks, suitable for fluidized bed reactors or trickle filters.

Advantages

Ingredients

Organic and inorganic nutrients.

Application and Dosage

The dosage depends on the age and stability of the aquarium.

The maximum daily dosage of 1 ml per 100 liters of aquarium water should never be exceeded.

Before starting use, the phosphate concentration should be between 0.02 mg/l and 0.1 mg/l. If phosphate is too low, the use of a suitable nutrient source is recommended. If phosphate is too high, a prior reduction is advised.

To enhance the effect, the dosage can be gradually increased after two weeks in increments of 0.25 ml per 100 liters, without exceeding the maximum dose. The product should be poured into a high circulation area, preferably at the beginning of the lighting phase.

If cloudiness appears after a dosage increase, immediately return to the previous dosage.

Storage

Store in a cool, dry place.
