biogen

Reduces nitrate and phosphate Carbon-based biopolymer (PHA) For use in a fluidized bed reactor biogen™ is a carbon-based biopolymer (PHA) designed to reduce nitrate and phosphate. In a fluidized bed reactor, it will support the growth of bacteria that consume nitrate and phosphate over 10% more efficiently than the leading competitor. Reducing phosphate and nitrate can enhance coral coloration and reduce nuisance coatings of rock and decorations. Sizes: 50 g, 160 g, 320 g, 3 kg   biogen™ should be used in a reactor that provides a flow of water that keeps the beads moving. Bacteria will colonize the beads in 2 - 4 weeks. To accelerate this process use a bacterial supplement such as seed™ or remediation™. Add 60 mL (¼ cup) per 265 L (70 US gallons) weekly until a total dose of 60 mL (¼ cup) per 85 L (23 US gallons) is reached. Slowly increasing the amount will prevent sudden drops in phosphate and nitrate and reduce the risk of a bacterial bloom. As beneficial bacteria consume the bea
