Shake the bottle well before each use! To enable the bacteria to develop unimpeded in the aquarium, turn off UV systems, ozonisers and skimmers before dosing and only turn on again 3-4 hours after dosing. NITRIBIOTIC can be dosed into the inlet of a biological filter or directly into the aquarium water.
Attach the enclosed tube to the syringe and measure the desired amount of NITRIBIOTIC with the syringe. The air that gets into the tube and syringe while pulling the syringe, does not affect the dosage. The bottom edge of the plunger always displays the correct dosing amount even if the desired quantity of NITRIBIOTIC, due to the air drawn in, is only in the tube and not in the syringe chamber. The air drawn in serves to empty the tube during dosing.
Begin with a dose of 1 ml for every 100 l (26 US-gal) of aquarium system volume. A subsequent weekly dosing of 1 ml per 200 l (52 US-gal) of aquarium system volume maintains and renews the pro-biotic effect. Up to a double dose of Tropic Marin® NITRIBIOTIC is still safe for the aquarium.
Decreasing ammonia and nitrite concentrations in the aquarium is a sign of the onset of nitrification. The recommended nitrite and ammonium concentrations in the reef aquarium should each be < 0.05 mg/l. To check the nitrification and the nutrient concentrations, we recommend the Tropic Marin® Nitrite/Nitrate-Test and Ammonium/Ammonia-Test.
Tropic Marin® offers more products for checking the nutrient concentrations and for supplying micro plankton. Ask your aquarium retailer for an effective bio-reactor (such as the BIO-ACTIF REACTOR 5000), suitable filter materials (e.g. NP-BACTO-TRICKS) and water additives of Tropic Marin®.
