Overview
Tropic Marin Elimi-NP Carbon Dosing Concentrate is a liquid carbon source used to fuel bacterial nitrate and phosphate export, helping bring elevated nutrient levels under control in reef systems.
Carbon dosing gives beneficial bacteria the fuel they need to consume excess nitrate and phosphate, offering an alternative or complement to media-based nutrient export.
Key features
- Liquid carbon source designed for nitrate and phosphate reduction
- Concentrated formula for precise, controlled dosing
- Works alongside protein skimming to export the resulting bacterial biomass
Who it's for
Reef tanks with elevated nitrate or phosphate wanting a carbon dosing approach to nutrient export, suited to nano through to larger systems.
Setup & tips
- Start with a conservative dose and increase gradually over several weeks — carbon dosing introduced too quickly can crash oxygen levels or cause a bacterial bloom
- Ensure strong protein skimming while carbon dosing, as it's needed to export the bacterial biomass produced
- Test nitrate and phosphate regularly to track progress and avoid overdosing
- Watch for reduced fish appetite or laboured breathing, early signs of dosing too aggressively
