Tropic Marin Elimi-NP 250ml
Tropic Marin Elimi-NP is a liquid carbon dosing concentrate designed to reduce nitrate and phosphate levels in reef aquariums. It works by introducing organic carbon to stimulate beneficial bacteria that incorporate nutrients into additional biomass, effectively removing nitrates and phosphates from the water. This product is particularly useful in reef aquariums with elevated phosphate levels and a low nitrate-to-phosphate ratio.
Key features and benefits:
- Elimi-NP specifically targets and reduces these key nutrient levels in reef aquariums.
- It utilizes a concentrated form of organic carbon to promote the growth of beneficial bacteria.
- It's designed for use in aquariums with calcium reactors, those with elevated phosphate levels, and those with a low nitrate-to-phosphate ratio.
- By reducing nitrate and phosphate, it creates optimal conditions for corals, sponges, and other filter feeders.
- Elimi-NP is a liquid solution and can be dosed using the included syringe, with the bottom edge of the plunger indicating the correct dosage.
- It targets only the beneficial bacteria that consume phosphate, unlike some other carbon dosing methods that can also feed algae and harmful bacteria.
Important Considerations:
- A starting dose of 0.5 ml per 100 liters (26 US-gal) of aquarium volume is recommended, but daily doses should not exceed 1 ml per 100 liters.
- Tropic Marin recommends adding Elimi-NP to the flow of a pump to ensure proper distribution.
