Coral Essentials Coral Power Bacteria Food – 50ml
Coral Essentials Coral Power Bacteria Food is a vital addition for promoting the growth of nitrifying bacteria in all marine systems. This concentrated solution, made from Acetic Acids and Sucrose, is perfect for marine aquariums as it helps break down organic waste effectively.
Nitrifying bacteria, also known as nitrifiers, are made up of two species. The first type appears as soon as ammonia is detected, while the second type settles in when nitrites are present. These bacteria depend on a biochemical reaction known as oxidation. In low oxygen environments, they utilize nitrite or nitrate as an acceptor, essentially switching from nitrifying to denitrifying, which helps remove nitrates.
When your aquarium is well-oxygenated, these bacteria require ammonia, which serves as their food source, to thrive. Coral Power Bacteria Food supplies the necessary components to support the effective functioning of nitrifying bacteria.
To maintain a healthy tank, it is important to follow a dosing plan. Below are the recommended guidelines, although you may adjust the amounts based on your specific tank conditions and the density of coral present.
Dosage rate:
- Start with 1 drop per day for every 100 liters of tank water.
- Do not exceed 2 drops per day for every 100 liters of water in a heavily stocked system.
