In this way, a nitrate and phosphate deficiency in the aquarium is prevented while at the same time the balance between these compounds is improved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNitrates and phosphates are stabilized at the lowest possible levels, especially effective when NP-BACTO-BALANCE is applied together with Tropic Marin® NP-BACTO-PELLETS or NP-BACTO-TRICKS.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIngredients\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTropic Marin® NP-BACTO-BALANCE contains organic and inorganic nutrients.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eApplication and dosage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStart with a daily dosage of 0.25 ml each 100l\/25 US-Gal. aquarium system water volume. In order to enhance the effect of NP-BACTO-BALANCE, however, the dosage may be increased every 2 weeks by 0.25 ml per 100 l\/25 US-Gal. of tank water daily, but not more than the maximum daily dose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended maximum daily dose, depending on the age of the aquarium*:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew and young tanks (0-1 years): up to 0.25 ml per 100 l\/25 US-Gal. tank volume\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedium age tanks (1-2 years): up to 0.5 ml per 100 l\/25 US-Gal. tank volume\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMatured tanks (\u0026gt;2 years): up to 1 ml per 100 l\/25 US-Gal. tank volume\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e* These ages are guides; in individual cases the measurement depends on the stability of the tank.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor best results, add NP-BACTO-BALANCE in the morning to a high water flow area in the tank. If a clouding of the tank is observed after the elevation of the dosage, the dosage should be reduced to the previous level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeside the organic and inorganic nutrients, NP-BACTO-BALANCE also contains the same trace elements of Tropic Marin® K+ ELEMENTS (1 ml equates 1 ml). This should be taken into consideration if trace elements are being dosed. Additionally we recommend adding the Tropic Marin® A- ELEMENTS for a complete trace elements dosage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tropic Marin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46714410336408,"sku":"0619106244050","price":60.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/0950\/9016\/files\/tropic_marin_np_bacto_balance.jpg?v=1750275275","url":"https:\/\/thepetsource.ca\/products\/tropic-marin-np-bacto-balance-1000-ml","provider":"The Pet Source","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
