Overview

Tropic Marin Elimi-NP Carbon Dosing Concentrate is a liquid carbon source used to fuel bacterial nitrate and phosphate export, helping bring elevated nutrient levels under control in reef systems.

Carbon dosing gives beneficial bacteria the fuel they need to consume excess nitrate and phosphate, offering an alternative or complement to media-based nutrient export.

Key features

Liquid carbon source designed for nitrate and phosphate reduction
Concentrated formula for precise, controlled dosing
Works alongside protein skimming to export the resulting bacterial biomass

Who it's for

Reef tanks with elevated nitrate or phosphate wanting a carbon dosing approach to nutrient export, suited to nano through to larger systems.

Setup & tips

Start with a conservative dose and increase gradually over several weeks — carbon dosing introduced too quickly can crash oxygen levels or cause a bacterial bloom
Ensure strong protein skimming while carbon dosing, as it's needed to export the bacterial biomass produced
Test nitrate and phosphate regularly to track progress and avoid overdosing
Watch for reduced fish appetite or laboured breathing, early signs of dosing too aggressively
