Red Sea Reef Care Nitrate And Phosphate Reducer No3:Po4-x 500ml

Red Sea NO3:PO4-X Biological Nitrate and Phosphate Reducer 500ml Prevents nuisance algae and enables control of zooxanthellae for optimum coral growth and coloration. NO3: PO4-X is easy to use, with a relatively small dose being added to the system on a daily basis. Over time the daily dosage of NO3: PO4-X will be varied (see instructions for use) according to measured levels of nitrate and phosphate, giving the fine control of nitrate and phosphate levels that guarantees the gradual changes and accurate maintenance of the desired nutrient levels. New tanks, untreated established tanks and established tanks that have used alternative methods of nitrate and/or phosphate reduction will all react differently when starting to use NO3: PO4– X. However over time the nutrient levels will stabilize as desired, irrespective of where they started. (For specific instructions for converting to NO3: PO4-X from PO4 absorbers and/or NO3 de-nitrators click here) With continued correct use there are no undesirable side effects when using NO3: PO4-X. It is safe for all fish, corals and micro fauna. Even a large accidental overdose should not cause any irreversible damage as long as a suitably rated skimmer is installed on the system NO3:PO4-X is a unique complex of carbons that are used by nutrient reducing bacteria. Each carbon in the complex is utilized by different strains of microorganisms while ensuring the correct carbon:nitrogen:phosphorus ratio is met for each stage. The complex includes other organic bonded elements that are important stimulators in each stage of the reduction process. These metal and non-metals elements ensure steady bacterial propagation and complete nitrate reduction to nitrogen gas and the absorption and utilization of phosphate by the bacteria. The fine control of the nitrate and phosphate levels provided by monitored dosing of NO3:PO4-X guarantees the gradual changes and accurate maintenance of the nutrient levels, preventing destruction of the zooxanthellae population that can cause ultraviolet (UV) shock and starvation of the corals. Unlike some other low-nutrient regimes, correct use of NO3:PO4-X will maintain all of the micro fauna that are beneficial for the reef. NO3:PO4-X is also recommended as a complete carbon source for use with carbon based de-nitrators. Concentration: 2ml/100 liters (25gal)/day Package size/volume: 500 ml (16.9 fl. Oz.
