Organic filter medium for fluidized bed reactors for effective biological nitrate and phosphate reduction with a quick-starting, continuous action. Tropic Marin NP-Bacto-Pellets consist of a mixture of natural biopolymers, which promote the settlement and growth of nitrate and phosphate degrading bacteria and other microorganisms. These nutrients are then available as valuable biomass and food sources for filter feeders. Low concentrations of nitrate and phosphate, as in nature, allow for bright and vibrant colors with very good growth and excellent vitality of the corals. The nutrient concentrations must be controlled to create these naturalistic conditions in the aquarium.
- Easy-to-use filter media for the effective removal of nitrate and phosphate
- Due to the compact size, it is suitable for fluidized bed filter or pellet reactors
- Made of natural biopolymers, which promote the colonization and growth of nitrate and phosphate removing bacteria as well as other microorganisms
- Allows corals to show their brightest and most vibrant colors while also be able to grow vigorously
- The bacterial colonization starts very quickly and then occurs on an on-going basis
- Suitable for an aquarium stocked with fish, soft and leather corals, LPS, SPS, other filter feeders and/or crustaceans
