TROPIC MARINE - NP-BACTO-PELLETS - 5000g

Product Description :

Easy-to-use filter media for efficient breakdown of nitrates and phosphates

Low concentrations of nitrates and phosphates, as found in nature, give corals bright, clear colors while ensuring good growth and excellent vitality. To recreate these close to nature conditions in an aquarium, it is necessary to control the nutrient concentrations.

NP-BACTO-PELLETS are the easy-to-use filtration media for effective degradation of nitrates and phosphates. NP-BACTO-PELLETS consist of a mixture of natural biopolymers which promote the colonization and growth of microorganisms and bacteria to eliminate nitrates and phosphates. This valuable biomass is therefore a nutrient source for filter feeders or can be skimmed.

Manual :

The NP-BACTO-PELLETS should be placed in a pellet reactor or a cyclonic filter which keeps the NP-BACTO-PELLETS in constant motion. For the removal of nutrients and for gas exchange, strong skimming of the aquarium water is recommended in marine aquaria. Boil the Tropic Marin ^® NP-BACTO-PELLETS in boiling water to remove the air. Start with 50 ml of NP-BACTO-PELLETS per 100 liters of aquarium water. After 4 weeks double the quantity of NP-BACTO-PELLETS as needed. A maximum quantity of 200 ml per 100 liters should not be exceeded. We recommend replacing used hardware every 3 months.

It is advisable to install the aerated pellet reactor outlet near the skimmer inlet.

Tropic Marin ^® NP-BACTO-BALANCE is an ideal complement combined with the NP-BACTO-PELLETS thus allowing a control of degradation of the nourishing substances.
