DrTim's Aquatics NP-Active Pearls offer a cutting-edge, biodegradable bio-polymer solution for effective nitrate and phosphate control in saltwater aquariums. These pure pearls are specifically formulated to cultivate beneficial bacteria, which consume excess nutrients, leading to a cleaner and healthier aquatic environment for all inhabitants.

Developed for all types of aquariums, these pearls are safe for fish and corals, containing no fillers or harsh chemicals. They provide an easier alternative to traditional carbon dosing methods and are certified Marine Biodegradable by ASTM D7081, proudly made in the USA. For optimal results, place the pearls in a reactor for constant tumbling and oxygenation, and utilize a robust protein skimmer to remove bacterial biomass. Initial seeding may take 2 to 4 weeks, with a recommended starting dose of 1 ml per gallon, gradually increasing to 3 ml per gallon. Pearls will be consumed over time and require replenishment.

This product is ideal for reef aquarists and hobbyists seeking a reliable, safe, and environmentally conscious method for maintaining pristine water quality. Its ease of use compared to other nutrient export methods, combined with its proven efficacy in reducing nitrates and phosphates, makes it an excellent choice for those dedicated to a thriving and balanced reef ecosystem. The biodegradable nature ensures a responsible approach to aquarium husbandry.
