Tropic Marin Nitribiotic is a high-performance bacterial supplement that combines probiotic, nitrifying, and purple bacteria into a single, stabilized solution. Designed for both marine and freshwater aquariums, Nitribiotic is a cornerstone of biological stability, helping to establish a robust nitrogen cycle while simultaneously boosting the immune systems of fish and invertebrates. By utilizing a unique blend of beneficial microorganisms, it outcompetes pathogenic bacteria and facilitates the breakdown of toxic waste, ensuring a healthy and resilient aquatic environment.
Nitribiotic provides a comprehensive approach to aquarium microbiology, targeting waste management and livestock health simultaneously.
Rapid Nitrification: Contains highly active nitrifying bacteria that efficiently convert toxic ammonia into nitrite and eventually into non-toxic nitrate.
Probiotic Health Boost: Includes Bacillus subtilis and other probiotic strains that strengthen the intestinal flora and immune defenses of fish and shrimp.
Hydrogen Sulphide Oxidation: Formulated with purple bacteria that oxidize toxic hydrogen sulphide (often found in deep sand beds) into harmless sulphur and sulphate.
Pathogen Competition: High bacterial counts allow "good" bacteria to colonize surfaces quickly, naturally suppressing the growth of nuisance microbes and cyanobacteria.
Enhanced Stress Resistance: The probiotic effect significantly reduces stress during acclimation, transport, or following medical treatments.
To achieve the best results, Nitribiotic should be used as part of a regular maintenance routine or during the initial startup phase of an aquarium.
Preparation: Shake the bottle vigorously before each use to ensure the bacterial spores are well-distributed.
Initial/Startup Dose: Add 1 ml for every 100 L (26 US gal) of aquarium system volume once.
Maintenance Dose: Add 1 ml per 200 L (52 US gal) weekly to maintain the probiotic effect and refresh the bacterial population.
Safety Tip: Nitribiotic is highly concentrated; a double dose is safe for the aquarium, but significantly exceeding the recommended amount is not necessary.
Important: To allow the bacteria to colonize effectively, turn off UV sterilizers, ozonizers, and protein skimmers before dosing. Leave them off for 3–4 hours after application to prevent the bacteria from being removed before they can settle on the filter media and rockwork.
FAQ Section: Common Questions
Can I use Nitribiotic to cycle a new tank? Yes. It is an excellent "starter" product, especially when using dry rock or artificial decorations, as it introduces the necessary microbial diversity to kickstart the nitrogen cycle.
Is it safe for corals and delicate shrimp? Absolutely. Nitribiotic is completely reef-safe and is particularly beneficial for ornamental shrimp, as the probiotic bacteria support their digestive health and molting success.
Does it have a shelf life? Nitribiotic has a long shelf life and does not require refrigeration, even after opening. Store it in a cool, dark place for maximum longevity.
Does it smell? Unlike many other bacterial products that have a strong "rotten egg" odor due to sulfur-reducing bacteria, Tropic Marin Nitribiotic is virtually odorless.
