NUTRIFIX PELLETS
250ml
Nutri-Fix NP is a bio media and bacterial food source specifically adapted for the reduction of Nitrate and Phosphate in aquariums. This revolutionary fluid offers all the advantages of liquid carbon/vodka dosing methods without the risk of overdosing the aquarium.
• Reduces both nitrates and phosphates
• No additional carbon dosage required
• Allows for increased feeding of fish and corals
• 100-200 ml of NutriFix per 100 l of water
• Protein skimming required
• Best used in a fluidized reactor
Unlike indiscriminate and potentially risky carbon dosing methods such as vodka or vinegar which involve adding 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 fixed carbon source biopolymer that can be used in a fluidized reactor to promote rapid bacterial growth within a controlled environment away from the main display, promoting only those bacteria relevant to the task of nutrient uptake.
The biopolymer acts as a primary food source to encourage healthy bacterial colonization which in turn assimilates or fixes nitrates and phosphates as the population grows. With these nutrients locked into the biomass of the bacterial population, the biofilm or “bacterial slime” can then be exported via physical agitation of the medium within a reactor to make way for further bacterial growth.
The effluent carrying these bacterial films can then be directed to the intake of a protein skimmer for physical removal via foam fractionation. The continued export of excess nitrate and phosphate is a direct result of this reaction.
Normally not as the bacterial growth rate is limited by the availability of free nitrate and phosphate in the water regardless of the available carbon source. In general, bacterial growth will increase when nutrient levels increase and decrease when levels decrease creating a stable environment within the aquarium.
It is however recommended to use a 50% dose when starting an existing aquarium to limit any excessive or rapid decreases in nutrient availability which may stress some more delicate organisms.
