DD NutriFix Pellets (1000ml)

NutriFix NP organic pellets

Nutri-Fix NP is a biomedium and bacterial food source specifically designed for reducing nitrate and phosphate in aquariums. This revolutionary liquid medium offers all the benefits of liquid carbon/vodka dosing without the risk of overdosing in the aquarium.

Advantages and application

– Reduces both nitrate and phosphate

– No additional carbon dosage required

– Allows increased feeding of fish and corals

– 100-200 ml NutriFix per 100 l water

– Protein skimming required

– Best used in a media reactor (DD fluidized bed reactor with/without pump).

How does NutriFix work?

Unlike indiscriminate and potentially risky carbon dosing methods such as vodka or vinegar, which add carbon sources directly to the main aquarium to promote bacterial growth, Bio Pellets provide the same carbon source for the bacteria without the potential problems.

Nutri-Fix NP is a 100% pure bio-polymer with a solid carbon source that can be used in a liquid reactor to promote rapid bacterial growth in a controlled environment away from the main display, promoting only the bacteria relevant to nutrient absorption.

The bio-polymer serves as a primary food source to promote healthy bacterial colonization, which in turn assimilates or binds nitrate and phosphate as the population grows. Because these nutrients are bound in the biomass of the bacterial population, the biofilm or “bacterial mulch” can then be exported by physically agitating the medium in a reactor to make room for further bacterial growth.

The wastewater containing these bacterial films can then be fed into the inlet of a protein skimmer where it is physically removed by foam fractionation. The continuous removal of excess nitrate and phosphate is a direct result of this reaction.

Is it possible to use too much NutriFix NP Bio Pellets?

Usually not, because the growth rate of bacteria is limited by the availability of free nitrate and phosphate in the water, regardless of the carbon source available. In general, bacterial growth increases as nutrient levels increase and decreases as levels decrease, creating a stable aquarium environment.
