{"product_id":"two-little-fishies-npx-bioplastics-200ml","title":"Two Little Fishies NPX Bioplastics, 200ml","description":"The Two Little Fishies NPX BioPlastics are pelletized biodegradable polymers that provide a time-released source of food for bacteria that assimilate nitrate and phosphate. As bacteria develop on the pellet surfaces, excess growth sloughs off due to the tumbling in a fluidized filter, and these bacteria can be removed with a protein skimmer or serve as planktonic food for filter-feeding invertebrates such as corals, clams, and sponges. Anaerobic zones also develop within the pellets, thus promoting denitrification there.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e200 ml\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor use in a fluidized reactor, such as the  Two Little Fishies Phosban Reactor . When you used with the Phosban Reactor you will need the  Phosban Reactor NPX Screen . Use 100 ml per 25 gallons.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan also be used in a  media bag  within any filter. Use 100 ml per 25 gallons. Because Bioplastics are slowly consumed, more pellets have to be added periodically.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThese bacteria can be harvested by protein skimmers, so that the nitrate and phosphate levels are naturally reduced. The bacteria are also a food source for filter-feeding invertebrates such as corals, clams, sponges, and feather dusters.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eCaution:\u003c\/span\u003e Maintain sufficient water flow through NPX Bioplastics to prevent production of hydrogen sulfide gas. Employ strong water circulation, aeration, and\/or a surface skimming overflow in the aquarium to maintain high levels of oxygen saturation. The use of NPX Bioplastics in marine aquariums must be accompanied by the use of a protein skimmer to achieve the export of bacteria and assimilated nutrients. It is not necessary for the outlet of the filter containing pellets to be positioned near the intake of a protein skimmer, but it is necessary to have a protein skimmer running on the system.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VASCAAquariumSupply","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42621152067669,"sku":"RTL42240","price":8.22,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/2626\/2101\/files\/TL42240-2.jpg?v=1781988939","url":"https:\/\/vascaaquariumsupply.com\/products\/two-little-fishies-npx-bioplastics-200ml","provider":"VASCAAquariumSupply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
