Supplementing with inorganic nitrogen, such as Seachem Reef Nitrogen, 500 ml, provides a targeted means of increasing nitrogen without also adding phosphate or dissolved organics. A typical nitrate test will show all forms of nitrogen being added by Reef Nitrogen.
Reef Nitrogen is ideally suited for use with a doser to maintain nitrogen at consistent concentration based on your aquarium's unique demand. Seachem Reef Nitrogen is easily dosed manually as well. Ideal nitrogen levels will vary but generally range from 1 – 2 mg/L (4.4 – 8.9 mg/L nitrate).
Use with
Seachem Reef Phosphorus to achieve a balance of nitrogen to phosphorus levels for optimal results.
Ingredients: derived from Calcium Nitrate, Magnesium Nitrate, and Ammonium Nitrate.
Directions for use:- Beginner
Use 1 cap (5 mL) per 160 liters (40 US gallons) twice a week or as needed to maintain desired nitrate levels. For new aquariums or aquariums with low populations of coral use ¼ to ½ dose initially and gradually increase as necessary. - Advanced
The beginner dose raises nitrogen by 0.78 mg/L or approximately 3.5 mg/L nitrate. To target a specific nitrate level, increase dose according to the following formula: 0.009vn=m where v= volume of tank in liters, n=desired nitrate increase, and m= volume of product to use in mL. For example, to raise 160 liters by 3.5 mg/L nitrate you would use 0.009*160*3.5 resulting in 5 mL to dose. For reference: 1 US gallon=3.8 L.
