Easy to use
NO3:PO4-X is formulated for daily dosing and when combined with weekly measurements of Nitrate and Phosphate enables gradual changes and the fine control of algae nutrients that are so important for the long-term health of all corals.
New tanks, untreated established tanks and established tanks that have used alternative methods of nitrate and/or phosphate reduction will all react differently when starting to use NO3: PO4– X. However, over time, the nutrient levels will stabilize as desired, irrespective of where they started.
With continued correct use, there are no undesirable side effects when using NO3: PO4-X. It is safe for all fish, corals, and microfauna. Even a large accidental overdose should not cause any irreversible damage as long as a suitably rated skimmer is installed on the system.
Notes for use
Uncontrolled reduction of the algae nutrients can destroy the symbiotic Zooxanthellae causing UV shock and starvation of the corals. For best results always use an accurate test kit such as Red Sea’s Nitrate Pro test which has an accuracy of 0.125ppm.
Once lower levels are nutrients are achieved, as seen by corals displaying their natural colors instead of “Zooxanthellae” brown, it is important to start feeding with easily digestible foods such as Red Sea’s Reef Energy Plus (AB+) that contains all of the necessary carbohydrates, amino acids, and vitamins.
Efficient protein skimming is essential to provide the necessary oxygenation of the water and to remove bacterial flocks from the aquarium.
