Brightwell Neonitro Balanced Nitrogen source for nitrogen-limited, low-nutrient reef Aquaria 250ml

599

  • Used in conjunction with MICROBACTER7 and REEF BIOFUEL or KATALYST, enables
    natural phosphorus uptake to take place in systems with inadequate nitrogen content,
    lowering phosphate concentration without the use of chemical filtration media and without
    resorting to polluting the system with organic material to raise the nitrogen content.
  • Recommended for use by advanced reef aquarists maintaining ultra-low nutrient
    content systems, only.
  • May be used with MICROBACTER7 (selected microbes and enzymes), REEF BIOFUEL
    and/or KATALYST (organic carbon source), and NEOPHOS (phosphorus source) to
    achieve desired nutrient content in reef aquaria for improved health and coloration of
    inhabitants.

Description

Successfully-operated low-nutrient and ultra-low-nutrient reef aquaria rely upon a balance of carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus in order to enable beneficial microbes to efficiently remove latent organic material by means of consuming it and converting it into additional microbial biomass. The resulting perpetual supply of planktonic microbes is exported from the system via protein skimming and/or captured by corals and other suspension-feeding invertebrates, recycling the once-latent organic material (waste) into additional biomass of these organisms. These nutrients are also required by zooxanthellae, and therefore by zooxanthellate invertebrates, for continued existence.
The ability of microbes to remove nutrients from their surroundings relies upon the presence of adequate supplies of organic carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus; if any one of these nutrients is not present in adequate supply, microbial uptake slows or ceases and the concentrations of the remaining nutrients increases as nutrient input continues. The aquarist may employ appropriate filtration material to reduce the concentrations of these nutrients, however bringing the nutrient concentrations into “balance” will accomplish the same task. Failure to maintain adequate nutrient content in any reef system may result in bleaching and/or tissue degradation of zooxanthellate invertebrates.
