NitraPhos Minus 2000ml

NitraPhos Minus from Aquaforest is a marine-only preparation for reef keepers who want to lower nitrates, nitrites and phosphates through bacterial activity rather than only through mechanical or chemical media. It is aimed at saltwater tanks where these nutrients affect coral health and encourage unwanted algae.

Why it matters

• Stimulates nutrient-consuming bacteria: the formula activates metabolism and cell division in several bacterial species that remove nitrates, nitrites and phosphates from the water.
• Combined organic nutrients: a mix of organic carbon forms, amino acids and vitamins is intended to keep the bacterial conversion pathways running without interruption.
• Biomass removal: bacteria convert the nutrients into biomass, and the excess is captured by the protein skimmer or filter, so it leaves the system.
• Effect on corals and algae: according to the manufacturer, regular use supports coral condition, colouration and growth, and helps limit nuisance algae and cyanobacteria.

What it works with

The product is intended for marine aquariums that contain corals, and its dosing is expressed per 100 l, so the required amount scales with tank volume. Because the daily dose depends on current NO3 and PO4 readings, regular testing is part of its use. Biomass removal relies on a working skimmer or filter, which should be running in the system.
