The nutrient conditions for corals and sponges in reef aquariums are ideal when nitrate and phosphate are present in the lowest concentrations. Tropic Marin® NP-Bacto-Balance promotes the natural incorporation of nitrate and phosphate into additional biomass with a mixture of selected organic carbon compounds and suitable inorganic nutrients. This lowers these nutrients in the water and at the same time prevents a nitrate or phosphate deficiency situation. The color expression and growth of corals, sponges and other filter feeders noticeably improve.
Nitrate and phosphate can be stabilized particularly successfully at the lowest level when Tropic Marin® NP-Bacto-Balance is used simultaneously with the Tropic Marin® NP-Bacto-Pellets or Tropic Marin® NP-Bacto-Tricks. These are easy-to-use filter media made from organic biopolymers for fluid bed reactors or trickle filters.
– Promotes the incorporation of nitrate and phosphate into additional biomass
– thereby lowers the nitrate and phosphate content in the water
– improves the color expression and growth of corals, sponges and other filter feeders
– prevents a nutrient deficiency situation
– sets an optimal nitrate-phosphate ratio
– suitable for aquarium systems of all ages
– Mature pools can be significantly revitalized and continue to develop with new vitality
– easy to use – suitable for both manual dosing and dosing pumps
The dosage depends on the age of the aquarium:
?
For new and young tanks (0-1 year*), no more than 0,25 ml per 100 l of tank contents should be added daily. For middle-aged tanks (1-2 years*) up to 0,5 ml/100 l can be dosed daily and for mature and older systems (>2 years*) between 0,5 to 1 ml per 100 l of aquarium water daily. A dosage of 1 ml per 100 liters of pool contents daily should under no circumstances be exceeded.

?* Ages are approximate; In detail, the classification depends on the stability of the pelvis.
At the start of dosing Tropic Marin® NP-Bacto-Balance, the phosphate concentration should be between 0,02 mg/l and 0,1 mg/l. If phosphate concentrations are too low, we recommend the dosage of Tropic Marin® Plus-NP, and for higher concentrations the dosage of Tropic Marin® Elimi-NP.
In order to increase the effect of Tropic Marin® NP-Bacto-Balance, the dosage can be increased by 2 ml per 0,25 l of tank contents every day after every 100 weeks, but in no case to more than the maximum dosage of 1 ml/100 l daily. Add the concentrate to the aquarium in a place with good flow. It is advantageous to add it at the beginning of the lighting phase. If clouding occurs after increasing the dosage of Tropic Marin® NP-Bacto-Balance, the previous dosage should be returned to.
