NPX BIOPLASTICS 200ml – Biodegradable Media for Natural Nitrate and Phosphate Reduction in Marine Aquariums
NPX BIOPLASTICS 200ml is an advanced granular filter media made from biodegradable polymers, designed for use in fluidized reactors in marine aquariums. These bioplastics gradually release an organic carbon source that supports the growth of heterotrophic bacteria, which consume nitrate (NO₃) and phosphate (PO₄), helping to reduce nutrient levels naturally and efficiently.
As bacteria colonize the bioplastics, they convert excess nutrients into biomass, which can be removed via protein skimming or serve as a food source for filter-feeding invertebrates such as corals, sponges, clams, and feather dusters. This biological process helps stabilize the aquarium’s ecosystem while improving water quality and preventing nuisance algae growth.
For optimal results, NPX Bioplastics should be used in combination with Bactiv8 NPX, a specialized bacterial inoculant that jump-starts colonization and accelerates nutrient assimilation. NPX Bioplastics is ideal for reef tanks and high-bioload systems that require consistent nutrient control.
Main features:
Biodegradable granules for nitrate and phosphate reduction
Designed for use in fluidized bed reactors
Slow release of organic carbon for bacterial growth
Supports production of biomass for filter feeders
Bacteria are removed via protein skimming or used as natural food
Use with Bactiv8 NPX for faster colonization
No chemical additives, 100% biological nutrient control
Ideal for marine aquariums with high organic load
Why choose NPX BIOPLASTICS 200ml:
NPX BIOPLASTICS 200ml offers a sustainable and natural solution to nutrient control in marine aquariums. It helps maintain low nitrate and phosphate levels, supports coral health, and enhances overall system stability—all while promoting biological balance through eco-friendly means.
