DvH Aquatic All-in-One Advanced BioPellets allow aerobic growth of bacteria that consume nitrate and phosphate at the same time. The bacteria will use the carbon from the DvH Aquatic All-in-One Advanced BioPellets, while nitrogen and phosphorus are absorbed from the water as nitrate and phosphate.
The positive effects of NP-reducing BioPellets on water quality are based on the immobilization principle. Waste products from the water, especially nitrate and phosphate, are converted into bacteria. This keeps the aquarium water clean.
DvH Aquatic All-in-One Advanced BioPellets work best with a very high water flow. For example, a 700 liter aquarium with a fluidized bed filter with 2 liters of DvH Aquatic All-in-One Advanced BioPellets requires a minimum flow rate of 2000-3000 l / h.
The surplus of bacteria is consumed by filter and suspension-supplying organisms, such as sponges and corals, or skimmed by a protein skimmer. Moreover, we recommend using a simple filter at the output of your fluidized bed filter with a high feed level to remove excess bacteria.
On average, it takes about 1-4 weeks before the DvH Aquatic All-in-One Advanced BioPellets generate enough bacteria to reduce the nitrate and phosphate levels.
Important, let your aquarium residents adapt to their new environment by slowly increasing the number of DvH Aquatic All-in-One Advanced BioPellets over a period of several weeks.
Add extra pellets every 3 to 6 months, depending on the consumption of DvH Aquatic All-in-One Advanced BioPellets.
