Marine Sources NP Biopellets XL

Marine Sources NP Biopellets XL have been developed for nitrate and phosphate reduction in the aquarium system. They are of very good quality. Small in size and therefore swirl easily and very well, which makes the performance of the biopellets exceptionally good.

It is an ideal pelletized biodegradable polymer that converts waste from the water such as nitrate and phosphate through bacteria. This keeps the aquarium water pure in a natural way.

Marine Sources Biopellet XL is an oversized medium and can be used without a biopellet reactor and can be placed directly in the sump or canister filter. Make sure there is sufficient water flow.

Item Number: BP-XL00 / BP-XL500 / BP-XL1000
Packing Size: 300ML/500ML/1000ML

This new formula NP Reducing BioPellets are composed of 100% pure biodegradable polymers. The pellets will allow aerobic growth of bacteria, which will consequently consume nitrate and phosphate simultaneously. The bacteria consume the carbon from the BioPellets, while nitrogen and phosphorus are removed from the water as nitrate and (ortho)phosphate. This conversion of organic BioPearls (along with inorganic nitrogen and phosphorus) into microbial biomass is called immobilization.

In addition, anaerobic layers will develop, resulting in additional denitrification, to prevent the sensitive marine animals from being affected by nitrite.

How to get started

Ensure sufficient water flow through the NP Biopellets to avoid the production of hydrogen sulfide gas. Thus, it is necessary to use the fluidized filter. For example, the Marine Sources biopellet reactors.

Before adding biopellet, we recommend adding 200~400ml for the first 200L of water. Then approximately 50 ~ 100 ml for each additional 100 L of water.

Build up the amount of Biopellets evenly, for example start with 50 to 100 ml in the first week and add approximately 50 to 100 ml extra every week until the desired result is achieved.

Regularly test the nitrate and phosphate levels in the aquarium to avoid concentrations that are too low.
