AquaForest NitraPhos Minus 250 ml–2 L
Powerful Biological Control of Nitrate, Nitrite & Phosphate
AquaForest NitraPhos Minus is a specialized formula designed to biologically reduce excess nitrate (NO3), nitrite (NO2), and phosphate (PO4) in marine aquariums.
Its advanced combination of multiple forms of organic carbon, amino acids, and vitamins supports the metabolism of beneficial bacteria responsible for processing excess nutrients. As bacteria absorb these compounds, they convert them into bacterial biomass, which can become a valuable natural food source for corals. Excess bacterial biomass and residues can then be removed from the aquarium through filtration or protein skimming.
NitraPhos Minus is particularly useful when nutrient levels are elevated and can help restore a healthier biological balance while supporting coral growth, coloration, and overall condition.
Key Features
- Biologically reduces excess nitrate, nitrite, and phosphate.

- Converts excess nutrients into bacterial biomass.
- Bacterial biomass can provide a natural food source for corals.
- Supports improved coral coloration and growth.
- Helps improve the overall condition and health of corals.
- Helps reduce undesirable green algae.
- Supports the prevention of cyanobacteria development by helping maintain biological balance.
- Designed for rapid nutrient reduction in marine aquariums.
- Can be used together with AquaForest Pro Bio S.
Benefits
Reduces Excess Nutrients
NitraPhos Minus helps biologically process elevated nitrate, nitrite, and phosphate levels, supporting a more balanced marine aquarium environment.
Supports Coral Growth & Colouration
By helping manage excessive nutrients, NitraPhos Minus creates conditions that can support healthier coral development, improved coloration, and overall coral condition.
Helps Control Unwanted Algae
Excess nitrate and phosphate can contribute to undesirable algae and cyanobacteria. NitraPhos Minus helps address the underlying nutrient imbalance by biologically processing these compounds.
Provides Natural Coral Nutrition
Beneficial bacteria absorb nutrients and convert them into biomass. This bacterial biomass can become a valuable natural food source for corals, while excess material can be removed through filtration or protein skimming.
Supports Biological Balance
The carefully selected combination of organic carbon sources, amino acids, and vitamins supports bacterial activity and helps maintain a more balanced aquarium ecosystem.
How to Use
When starting NitraPhos Minus, begin with half of the recommended dose.
Monitor your aquarium's NO3 and PO4 levels once or twice per week and adjust dosing according to the aquarium's nutrient levels and response.
Because excessive or rapid nutrient reduction can be harmful to aquarium inhabitants, avoid lowering nitrate and phosphate levels too quickly.
Important Nutrient Management Information
-
Low nitrate and phosphate levels can increase the importance of appropriate coral supplementation.
- Inefficient filtration can contribute to elevated nitrate and phosphate levels.
- Excessive feeding or supplementation can also cause nutrient levels to rise.
- A rapid drop in nitrate and phosphate can negatively affect zooxanthellae and may lead to coral loss.
- NitraPhos Minus is designed to help quickly reduce elevated nitrate and phosphate levels, but nutrient reduction should always be monitored carefully.
Using NitraPhos Minus with Pro Bio S
NitraPhos Minus can be used together with AquaForest Pro Bio S.
However, when dosing NitraPhos Minus, AquaForest -NP Pro is not required, as NitraPhos Minus already provides the necessary nutritional support for the bacteria.
Recommended For
- Marine and reef aquariums with elevated NO3 and PO4
- Aquariums experiencing undesirable algae growth
- Systems requiring biological nutrient reduction
- Reef aquariums where improved coral coloration and growth are desired
- Aquariums using probiotic bacterial filtration
