NO3:PO4-X (NoPox) is a unique complex of different carbon-based substances and other organically bound elements that provides a controlled biological reduction of algae nutrients. By acting as a specialized food source for nutrient-reducing bacteria, it promotes the natural process of nitrate and phosphate removal within your reef aquarium. This prevents the growth of nuisance algae and allows for the fine control of zooxanthellae populations for optimal coral health.
To achieve professional results and prevent overdosing, NO3:PO4-X must be dosed accurately based on daily measured nitrate and phosphate levels.
Controlled Reduction: Provides a reliable method for lowering nitrates and phosphates to "Reef-Spec" levels.
Algae Prevention: Effectively starves nuisance algae by removing the primary nutrients they need to thrive.
Enhanced Coloration: Allows for the reduction of zooxanthellae density, which helps reveal the vibrant natural pigments of your corals.
Safety First: Formulated to prevent the sudden "crashing" of nutrient levels when used according to the provided dosing instructions.
Do I need a protein skimmer to use NoPox?
Yes. A high-quality protein skimmer is essential when using NO3:PO4-X to provide the necessary oxygenation and to export the nutrient-laden bacterial biomass created by the supplement.
How often should I test my water when dosing?
During the initial phase, you should test your Nitrate ($NO_3$) and Phosphate ($PO_4$) levels daily or every other day to adjust your dose until your target levels are reached.
What happens if I overdose?
Overdosing can lead to a bacterial bloom (cloudy water) and a dangerous drop in oxygen levels. If this occurs, stop dosing immediately and increase aeration.
