NP-BACTO-PELLETS – Biopolymer Filter Media for Nitrate & Phosphate Removal

NP-BACTO-PELLETS are a high-performance filter media designed to reduce nitrate and phosphate levels in marine and reef aquariums. By creating the right conditions for the growth of beneficial bacteria and other aerobic microorganisms, these biopolymer pellets help improve water quality while supporting vibrant coral colouration and growth. Suitable for use in pellet reactors or fluidised bed filters, the pellets provide ongoing nutrient reduction with minimal maintenance.

The biopolymers used in NP-BACTO-PELLETS promote the colonisation of bacteria that consume excess nutrients, and the resulting biomass can be removed by a protein skimmer or serve as a food source for filter feeders. The pellets start working quickly and are replenished monthly for consistent results.

Key Features:

• Reduces nitrate and phosphate for cleaner water
• Supports healthy coral growth and enhanced colour
• Made from natural biopolymers to foster beneficial bacterial growth
• Suitable for use in fluidised or pellet reactors
• Biomass can be skimmed or used by filter feeders
• Easy monthly top-up to maintain performance

• Safe and effective for all marine aquariums

Usage Guidelines:

• Soak pellets for 2 hours before first use
• Start with 50ml per 100 litres (25 US gallons) of water
• Increase to a maximum of 200ml per 100 litres if needed after four weeks
• Replace degraded pellets monthly
• Position reactor outlet near protein skimmer intake for optimal nutrient removal

Designed for serious reef keepers, NP-BACTO-PELLETS help create a stable, low-nutrient environment where corals can thrive naturally.
