Red Sea Rs Nitrate and Phosphate Reduc. - 1100 G

Starting a 700L reef tank about a year ago, after cycling it and adding corals and livestock I was quick to have an issue with nitrate running in excess of 50 PPM. No matter how many costly water changes I did I simply could not get it down. Algae uses the nitrate as a source of food which inevitably caused a problem with excess build up which looked ugly and causes stress to corals to the point many wouldn't extend their polyps.Using this product it took a few months of reasonably high dosing (following the simple instructions) for the volume of water to get the nitrates down to 2 PPM (I keep mainly LPS which like a small amount of nitrate) but now my maintenance dose it very small and 1L will last for months. This in turn saved me the expense of trying to get the nitrate down by continuously performing salt water changes.Included is a measuring cup but for those that use a dosing system the design of the cap has been recently changed so that a dosing tube is simple to fit.It doesn’t mean that you can no longer monitor your Nitrate and Phosphate levels though, when deaths occur that go un-noticed a spike in ammonia which the biological filter converts to nitrate, which in turn is converted to a spike in nitrate requires additional dosing until the tank settles once more.Great product but users should be careful not to overdose as I have found that causes a bacterial bloom and the water changes to milky white. The additional purchase of a UV sterilizer was the only way I could remove the bacterial bloom after struggling for many weeks.

Bought the NoPox due too high Nigrate and Pohophate in the mixed reef tank.Package Content :1x 1L of NoPox1x Measuring cupI have been battling with high nitrate for the past few months. So I bought NoPox previously which was about to finish so had to replenish another one.It works like a dream but it its a slow process to get the NoPox out of the system. I used NoPox to keep Nitrate and Phosphate along with Mangroes, additioanly I have been using BiCoarbonate of Soda to keep my alkaline stable.Highly recommned if you waant to reduce Nitrate and Phosphate.I really hope you found my review helpful and would love for you to click on the “YES” button to say so. If you don't think my review has been helpful, before you click on the “NO“ button to say I was unhelpful, I would love you to leave me a comment with your thoughts, so I can try improving my future reviews.

It does seem to work fairly well, but instead of have green algae form on the glass, you have a white film over the glass and some of my corals shrunk right back and some disappeared altogether.

Running a marine tank is like a full time job, this product makes it a lot easier along with a dosing pump to keep your marine tank regulated.Pros:* Reduced Algae* Decreases Nitrate levels meaning you can go longer between water changesCons:* Extra filtration is needed due to the increased bio load* Not the cheapest option

Like the other 5 star reviews. It works. It works well. It works reliably. Note, you do need plenty of reef rock a good skimmer and good flow. The algae/bacteria that live in the rocks use the NoPoOx as food. So they multiply. Then the skimmer removes them as they float through the system. Their building blocks are nitrates and phosphate. Therefore they use the nitrates and the phosphate which is removed from the water column . So down comes the concentration. Just follow the instructions and sit back and relax.

Arrived in good time.only need the smallest amount in your tank.half the recommended dose on what is recommended to start.Used to much the first go and my tank ended up going cloudy for a night.

I have used this product before always found it doe's the job, I must admit I am impatient and expect it to work at once does't work that way give it time and you will find you have plenty left at the end of the treatment, so if it recurs you have some in reserve

Arrived damaged with brocken dosing cap
