Description
Tropic Marin Elimi-NP – Nitrate & Phosphate Reducer
Tropic Marin Elimi-NP is a highly concentrated liquid carbon dosing solution designed to effectively reduce nitrate (NO3) and phosphate (PO4) levels in marine and reef aquariums.
Developed to support natural biological nutrient reduction, Elimi-NP encourages beneficial bacterial activity, helping remove excess nutrients from aquarium water and maintain a healthier, more balanced marine environment.
Particularly effective in reef aquariums with elevated phosphate levels and a low nitrate-to-phosphate ratio, Elimi-NP is ideal for aquariums using calcium reactors, although it can also be used in other suitable saltwater systems.

How Does Tropic Marin Elimi-NP Work?
Nitrate and phosphate are naturally produced in marine aquariums through feeding, fish waste and the breakdown of organic material.
Although both nutrients are essential in small quantities, excessive concentrations can contribute to unwanted algae growth and poor aquarium conditions.
Tropic Marin Elimi-NP supplies concentrated organic carbon, encouraging the growth of beneficial bacteria that incorporate nitrate and phosphate into their biomass.
This biological process helps reduce excess nutrients, supporting a more stable and balanced reef aquarium.
Ideal for Reef Aquariums
Elimi-NP is particularly useful in marine aquariums where phosphate concentrations are elevated compared with nitrate levels.
It is recommended for systems with:
-
Phosphate concentrations above 0.1 mg/L
-
A nitrate-to-phosphate ratio of 10:1 or lower
-
Reef aquariums operating calcium reactors
-
Excess nutrients requiring controlled biological reduction
For aquariums with lower phosphate concentrations or a nitrate-to-phosphate ratio above 10:1, Tropic Marin NP-Bacto-Balance may be a more appropriate alternative.
Dosage Instructions
Starting Dose:
Add 0.1ml per 100 litres of aquarium water daily.
Increasing the Dose:
After two weeks, the daily dosage may be increased by an additional 0.1ml per 100 litres, provided nitrate and phosphate concentrations are being monitored and aquarium inhabitants show no signs of stress.
Maximum Daily Dose:
Do not exceed 0.5ml per 100 litres of aquarium water per day.
Add Elimi-NP directly into an area of strong water circulation to ensure even distribution throughout the aquarium.
Important: Nutrient concentrations should be reduced gradually. Rapid phosphate reduction can cause stress to corals and other sensitive reef inhabitants.
Recommended Water Testing
Regular testing is essential when using Tropic Marin Elimi-NP.
Monitor both:
-
Nitrate (NO3)
-
Phosphate (PO4)
Testing allows you to adjust dosing safely and avoid reducing essential nutrients to excessively low levels.
