How To Get Low Nitrate In Marine Aquarium | NPX Bioplastics Pellet

NPX Bioplastics are pelletized biodegradable polymers that are used in a fluidized reactor to maintain aquarium water quality by supporting the growth of nitrate and phosphate reducing bacteria. As bacteria populate the pellet surfaces, excess growth sloughs off to be harvested by a protein skimmer or become a natural food source for filter-feeding invertebrates such as corals, clams, and sponges. Anaerobic zones within the pellets promote conditions where bacteria associated with denitrification (nitrate removal) thrive.

To use NPX Bioplastics, install them in a fluidized filter like the PhosBan Reactor 150 or 550. For best results, begin with smaller quantities and add more NPX Bioplastics as media becomes inoculated with beneficial bacteria. After two to four weeks, nitrate and phosphate levels will decrease.
