Each carbon in the complex is utilized by different strains of microorganisms while ensuring the specific Carbon:Nitrogen:Phosphorus ratio required for each stage. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe Red Sea NO3: PO4-X complex includes other organic-bonded elements that are important stimulators in each stage of the reduction process. These metal and non-metals elements ensure steady bacterial propagation, complete nitrate reduction to nitrogen gas as well as the absorption and utilization of phosphate by the bacteria.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe fine control of the nitrate and phosphate levels provided by monitored dosing of  NO3: PO4-X guarantees the gradual changes and accurate maintenance of the nutrient levels. This prevents the destruction of the Zooxanthellae population that can cause UV shock and starvation of the corals. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike some other low-nutrient regimes, correct use of NO3: PO4 -X will maintain all of the micro-fauna that are beneficial for the reef. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eNO3: PO4-X is also recommended as a complete carbon source for use with carbon-based de-nitrators. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eRed Sea NO3: PO4-X  is available in 500ml and 1000ml bottles and includes a measuring cup for easy dosing.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Red Sea","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41721846693934,"sku":"RED-R22203","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0583\/4276\/8686\/files\/17009.jpg?v=1765980877","url":"https:\/\/mattscorals.com\/products\/red-sea-no3-po4-x-nitrate-phosphate-reducer-500ml","provider":"Matt's Corals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
