Two Little Fishies NPX Bioplastics offer a natural, biological method for reducing nitrate and phosphate levels in your saltwater aquarium. This granular media is composed of biodegradable polymers that act as a slow-release organic food source. It promotes the growth of beneficial bacteria that consume and lock away nitrate and phosphate, effectively purifying your tank's water and creating a healthier environment for your aquatic inhabitants.

For optimal performance, NPX Bioplastics should be used in a fluidized media reactor which ensures the granules are kept in suspension and properly colonized by bacteria. As the bacteria multiply and consume nutrients, they form a biofilm on the media that is then harvested by a protein skimmer, permanently exporting the unwanted nutrients from your system. These nutrient-rich bacteria also serve as a valuable food source for filter-feeding invertebrates like corals, clams, and sponges.

This product is ideal for the dedicated reef aquarist looking to maintain an ultra-low nutrient system, which is crucial for the health and coloration of sensitive corals. It is particularly beneficial for tanks with a high bioload or for hobbyists who want a more stable and less hands-on approach to nutrient control than chemical additives or frequent water changes. A properly sized media reactor and an efficient protein skimmer are required to achieve the full benefits of this advanced filtration media.
