ME Coral offers specialized additives to manage nitrate (NO₃) and phosphate (PO₄) levels in marine aquariums, especially in low-nutrient systems where corals may show signs of nutrient depletion.
ME Nitrate (NO₃) Additive:
Purpose: Raises nitrate levels without increasing phosphate concentrations, ideal for systems with low nitrates.
Usage: To increase nitrate by 1 ppm in a 100-gallon system, add 20 ml. Aim for nitrate levels between 0.05–4 ppm. Regular testing is recommended to avoid excessive nitrate buildup.
Ingredients: RO/DI water, potassium nitrate, sodium nitrate, calcium nitrate.
ME Phosphate Concentrate Additive:
Purpose: Increases phosphate levels in systems where phosphate is depleted, supporting coral health and growth.
Usage: Adding 2 drops to a 100-liter system will raise phosphate by 0.01 ppm. Aim for phosphate levels between 0.03–0.09 ppm, testing regularly to avoid excessive phosphate buildup.
Ingredients: RO/DI water, sodium phosphate, potassium phosphate.
