Red Sea's NO ₃ :PO ₄ -X is a unique complex of various carbons and other organically bound elements that enables a controlled biological reduction of algae nutrients (nitrate & phosphate) by naturally occurring bacteria that exist in every aquarium. learn more

Unlike other methods, monitored dosing of NO ₃ :PO ₄ -X reduces both nitrate and phosphate biologically while allowing fine control of their levels. This fine control allows for gradual changes and guarantees precise maintenance of the algae nutrient levels required to safely reduce nuisance algae and maintain the symbiotic zooxanthellae algae at the optimal levels needed to promote coral growth and coloration.

NO ₃ :PO ₄ -X is a unique complex of carbon compounds and other organically bound elements that promotes the activity of nutrient-reducing bacteria that occur naturally in all marine aquariums. Each carbon source in the complex is utilized by different strains of microorganisms and, together with the balanced ratio of enzymatic co-factors, guarantees a complete and safe denitrification process (nitrate reduction) and phosphate reduction in the aquarium.
