AF NitraPhos Minus (250mL) – Aquaforest

About this product

Aquaforest AF NitraPhos Minus 250mL. A liquid nutrient-control supplement designed to biologically reduce nitrate, nitrite, and phosphate in marine aquariums. The formula stimulates bacteria responsible for processing excess nutrients, supporting nutrient management in reef systems.

Its blend of organic carbon sources, amino acids, and vitamins helps bacteria convert nutrients into biomass. Some of this biomass can serve as food for corals, while excess biomass and waste are removed through filtration and protein skimming. Dosing should be guided by regular water testing to avoid reducing nutrients too quickly.
