Tropic Marin Plus-NP is a highly concentrated nutrient solution designed specifically for modern reef aquariums that suffer from nutrient limitation. In systems with high-performance protein skimming, intensive lighting, and aggressive filtration, the levels of phosphate and nitrogen can drop below what is necessary for coral survival. Plus-NP provides these essential nutrients in a precise, bioavailable ratio, preventing coral starvation and "paleness." By maintaining a controlled baseline of nutrients, it promotes the growth, health, and vibrant coloration of SPS and LPS corals while stabilizing the aquarium’s biological filter.
Plus-NP is the ideal solution for "balancing" the chemistry of ultra-clean reef tanks to prevent metabolic stalling.
Prevents Nutrient Limitation: Supplies nitrogen and phosphates in a form that is immediately accessible to corals and beneficial bacteria.
Increases Growth Rates: Provides the chemical energy required for corals to build tissue and skeletons, especially in tanks with near-zero nitrate and phosphate readings.
Enhances Color Intensity: Corrects the "washed-out" look of corals by ensuring the symbiotic zooxanthellae have enough nutrients to maintain healthy pigment density.
Stabilizes the Microbial Loop: Fueling beneficial microbes prevents the accumulation of waste that the biological filter otherwise couldn't process due to a lack of balancing nutrients.
Easy Dosing: The liquid formula is easy to dose manually or via an automated dosing pump, with a high concentration that ensures long-lasting use.
When should I use Plus-NP?
Plus-NP should be used when your nitrate (NO3) and phosphate (PO4) levels are consistently below the detection limit of your test kits and your corals appear pale or are losing tissue.
Will this cause algae outbreaks?
When dosed correctly to address a deficiency, the nutrients are absorbed almost instantly by corals and bacteria. However, overdosing beyond the needs of the corals can lead to nuisance algae, so regular testing is vital.
How much should I dose?
The recommended starting dose is 1 ml per 100 L (26 US gal) daily. Monitor your nutrient levels and coral response, adjusting the dosage to maintain a very low but detectable level of nutrients.
Is this safe for all reef inhabitants?
Yes. Plus-NP is specifically formulated for the marine environment and is safe for fish, corals, and invertebrates when used as directed.
Tropic Marin Elimi-NP: Use this if you need to go in the opposite direction and reduce excessively high nutrient levels.
