Aquaforest -NP Pro Liquid Bacterial Growth Polymer

Aquaforest -NP Pro Liquid Bacterial Growth Polymer

Aquaforest -NP Pro Liquid Bacterial Growth Polymer is a marine conditioner that rapidly increases the population of probiotic bacteria in your aquarium. These bacteria help reduce nitrate and phosphate and turn them into a food source for corals. It suits reef keepers who want to manage nutrients and feed their corals at the same time.

How It Works

• -NP Pro is a liquid polymer that supports the growth of probiotic bacteria.
• It acts as a liquid food source for the bacteria, allowing them to proliferate rapidly.
• The probiotic bacteria transform nitrate and phosphate into bacterioplankton.
• Corals can absorb this bacterioplankton, which provides them with nutrition.
• It forms part of the Aquaforest probiotic SPS system.
