Two little fishies Bactiv8 NPX

Bactiv8 NPX is a new bacterial additive from Two Little Fishies with the aim of increasing the quantity and diversity of heterotrophic bacteria in reef aquariums. Bactiv8 NPX contains active marine bacteria that aid in nitrification and denitrification and promote the breakdown of organic waste in marine and reef aquariums. Bactiv8 NPX can be used in addition to NPX Bioplastics to increase the assimilation of nitrate and phosphate and their subsequent export from the aquarium water through protein skimming.

Many aquarists think that having a carbon source in the aquarium water, such as adding vodka or using biopellets, is enough to stimulate bacterial growth, but these methods are simply food and energy sources for the bacteria. The addition of specific heterotrophic bacterial cultures such as Bactiv8 NPX helps guide the microbial populations to a broader range of beneficial bacteria that work together to break down organic waste. Without regular addition of various bacterial boosters, the bacterial populations that use carbon in the aquarium system will be dominated by less generalist species, which may not be as desirable as having a diversity of bacterial species that perform a broader range of bacterial services.
