Odyssea Nitrate++

Odyssea Reef Nutrient Solution Nitrate++

10ml of Nitrate++ will increase NO3 levels of 100l of aquarium water by ~1ppm.

Directions for Use:

1. Before any addition we recommend using reliable and accurate Nitrate test kit to determine current levels.
2. Once nitrate levels are tested, we recommend increasing NO3 by only 1-2ppm per day by dosing the required amount and waiting 24 hours to repeating until the target values/daily consumption are reached.

Odyssea Reef Nitrate++ is a benificial source of NO3 manufactured using >99% purity materials designed to be dosed to the aquarium in a controlled manner to achieve Target Nitrate levels. We recommend using Nitrate++ to maintain levels avove 5 ppm.

Why is Nitrate important?

Nitrate (N03) is an essential food source for the zooxanthellae found in the surface tissues of coral polyps. In exchange for a protected environment, these zooxanthellae provide the coral with nutrients they need to survive and grow. Proper levels of nitrate may also help improve coral health, colours and prevent bleaching.  Nutrition levels of Zero can also be a source of nuisance problems like Cyanobacteria outbreaks.

N03 levels below 3ppm should be avoided, levels up to 10ppm are fine for the average reef aquarium, levels above 25ppm are not advised.

As modern filtration systems and technologies have become more efficient, insufficient nutrients within aquariums are becoming more common. When a reef tank is nutrient deficient, the biological filtration is not occurring efficiently and nutrients such as phosphate are likely to become unbalanced and may even become pollutants unless other forms of filtration are used to control them; to avoid this Nitrate needs to be maintained above zero. Nitrate++ is used to increase levels of N03; supporting the population of microorganisms and bacteria, improving biological filtration by allowing the consumption of carbon and phosphate. This bacterium can then be consumed by corals and other organisms in our aquariums as a food source or removed via a skimmer.
