NO3:PO4-X Contains a unique
complex of carbons that are used by nutrient-reducing bacteria. Each
carbon is utilized by different strains of microorganisms while
maintaining the specific Carbon: Nitrogen: Phosphorus ratio required for
each stage. The complex includes other organic bonded elements that are
important stimulators in each stage of the reduction process. These
metal and non-metals elements ensure steady bacterial propagation and
complete nitrate reduction to nitrogen gas and the absorption and
utilization of phosphate by the bacteria.
The fine control of the nitrate and phosphate levels provided by monitored dosing of NO3:PO4-X
guarantees the gradual changes and accurate maintenance of the nutrient
levels, preventing destruction of the zooxanthellae population that can
cause UV shock and starvation of the corals.
Unlike some other low-nutrient regimes, correct use of NO3:PO4-X will maintain all of the beneficial micro fauna.
NO3:PO4-X is also recommended as a complete carbon source for use with carbon based de-nitrators.
