Tropic Marin NP-Bacto-Balance – 33.8 fl oz (1000 mL)

Tropic Marin NP-Bacto-Balance is an advanced nutrient management solution designed to maintain the ideal balance of nitrate and phosphate in reef aquariums. Unlike traditional carbon dosing products that simply reduce nutrients, NP-Bacto-Balance supplies a carefully formulated blend of organic carbon compounds and inorganic nutrients that encourages beneficial bacteria to naturally incorporate excess nitrate and phosphate into additional biomass.

The result is a healthier, more stable reef aquarium with improved coral coloration, enhanced growth, and reduced nuisance algae—without driving nutrients to zero. NP-Bacto-Balance is ideal for reef keepers looking to achieve the low, balanced nutrient levels that SPS, LPS, soft corals, and other filter feeders thrive in.

Key Benefits

• Helps naturally reduce nitrate (NO₃) and phosphate (PO₄)

• Promotes beneficial bacterial growth for biological nutrient export

• Helps establish the ideal nitrate-to-phosphate ratio

• Improves coral coloration and growth

• Prevents nutrient deficiencies caused by aggressive nutrient removal

• Supports sponges and other filter-feeding organisms

• Suitable for manual dosing or dosing pumps

• Ideal for reef aquariums of all ages

A Smarter Approach to Nutrient Control

Maintaining nutrients isn't just about lowering nitrate and phosphate—it's about keeping them in balance. Excess nutrients can fuel nuisance algae, while nutrients that are too low can result in pale corals, reduced growth, and unstable reef conditions.

NP-Bacto-Balance provides a controlled carbon source along with complementary nutrients that promote bacterial uptake of nitrate and phosphate while helping prevent one nutrient from becoming depleted before the other. This balanced approach supports long-term reef stability and healthier coral growth.

Perfect For

NP-Bacto-Balance is recommended for:

• SPS reef aquariums

• Mixed reef tanks

• LPS coral systems

• Coral propagation systems

• Mature reef aquariums

• Aquariums using dosing pumps

• Reef keepers seeking stable nutrient control

Easy Daily Dosing

NP-Bacto-Balance is designed for daily use and can be added manually or with an automatic dosing pump. Dosage recommendations vary based on the age and stability of the aquarium, beginning with lower daily doses for newer systems and increasing gradually as needed. For best results, dose into an area of high water flow at the beginning of the lighting period. Never exceed the manufacturer's maximum recommended dosage.
