Carbon Dosing Concentrate for Nitrate and Phosphate Reduction
Achieve the perfect nutrient balance in your reef with Tropic Marin Elimi-NP. This liquid carbon dosing concentrate is specifically engineered to effectively reduce elevated Nitrates (NO_3) and Phosphates (PO_4) in saltwater aquariums.
Elimi-NP is the ideal solution for reefers who observe a low Nitrate-to-Phosphate ratio—a condition frequently found in systems utilizing a calcium reactor. By providing a high-quality energy source for nutrient-consuming bacteria, Elimi-NP helps you achieve the ultra-low nutrient levels required for high-end SPS and LPS coral vibrancy.
Key Benefits for Your Reef
Efficient Nutrient Export: Rapidly lowers phosphate and nitrate levels through biological stimulation.
Calcium Reactor Optimized: Specifically designed to fix the nutrient imbalances caused by coral calcium reactors.
Livestock Safe: Suitable for all marine fish, soft corals, LPS, SPS, and delicate crustaceans/filter feeders.
Simple Administration: Available in an easy-to-dose liquid format for precise daily maintenance.
When to Choose Elimi-NP vs. NP-Bacto-Balance
Use Elimi-NP: If your phosphate concentration is above 0.1 mg/l or if you have a very low Nitrate-to-Phosphate ratio (below 10:1).
Use NP-Bacto-Balance: If your phosphate levels are already low or if your Nitrate-to-Phosphate ratio is greater than 10:1.
Application & Dosage Guide
To avoid adjustment stress in your corals, nutrient levels should always be lowered slowly.
Starting Dose: Begin with 0.1 ml per 100 L (26 US gal) of system volume daily.
Adjustment: Every 2 weeks, you may increase the dose by 0.1 ml, provided you are monitoring your corals and testing your NO_3/PO_4 levels.
Maximum Limit: Do not exceed a daily dose of 0.5 ml per 100 L.
Placement: Dose directly into a high-flow area (near a pump) to ensure even distribution.

Professional Feeding Tip:
When carbon dosing with Elimi-NP, your protein skimmer may produce more "skimmate" than usual. This is a sign that the bacteria are consuming nutrients and being exported. Ensure your skimmer is running at peak efficiency for the best results.

⭐ The "Purity" Essential
Testing is key! To use Elimi-NP safely, you must have accurate data. Pair this with a high-sensitivity Phosphate Test Kit or a Triton ICP-OES Lab Test to monitor your nutrient reduction progress with precision.
