Once you’ve established a stable biofilter, nitrate levels begin to rise in your aquarium water.  Phosphate levels begin to accumulate due to feeding and other organic materials in your tank.  Algae thrive on the available nitrate and phosphate resulting in a tank full of unsightly, messy algae.  NP-Active Pearls remove nitrate and phosphate from your aquarium water naturally, making these nutrients unavailable to algae and other unsightly nuisances.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHow do NP-Active Pearls work?\u003cbr\u003eFriendly bacteria use NP-Active Pearls to assimilate phosphate and nitrate in aquarium water, out-competing algae for these nutrients, and producing an easily harvested bacterial biomass which can be removed by mechanical filtration (filter pad) or by a protein skimmer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e    Specially developed for aquariums\u003cbr\u003e    Works in ALL Aquariums\u003cbr\u003e    Safe for ALL fish and corals\u003cbr\u003e    PURE - no fillers, no chemicals\u003cbr\u003e    Easier than carbon dosing\u003cbr\u003e    Ultimate in Carbon Bio-Polymer\u003cbr\u003e    ASTM D7081 Certified Marine Biodegradable\u003cbr\u003e    Made in the USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat do you need? \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e    NP-Active Pearls\u003cbr\u003e    Reactor or similar device and pump\u003cbr\u003e    Reef-Pure Waste-Away (to seed NP-Active Pearls with bacteria)\u003cbr\u003e    Protein Skimmer is recommended\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSee our NP-Active Pearl Kits to get started!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSelect the size best suited for your system:\u003cbr\u003e150 ml (0.93 cups) treats 50 gallons (189 liters)\u003cbr\u003e450 ml (1.90 cups) treats 150 gallons (568 liters)\u003cbr\u003e900 ml (3.75 cups) treats 300 gallons (1,136 liters)\u003cbr\u003e3,790 ml (1 gallon) treats 1,260 gallons (4,770 liters)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUse 3ml of NP-Pearls per 1 gal of aquarium water (1\/4 cup NP-Active Pearls per 20 gal water).  Use a small quantity of Pearls at first, adding more Pearls over time. Note: it may take 2-4 weeks for the process to start. Replenish Pearls every 6-9 months as needed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eImportant: NP-Active Pearls should be placed in a fluidized reactor or similar device where the Pearls are kept in constant motion with sufficient water flow. Clogged Pearls should be removed and rinsed well before being added back to the reactor.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DrTim’s Aquatics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47839012192578,"sku":"812540018014","price":41.63,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0849\/4330\/7074\/files\/34101801_1.jpg?v=1708480791","url":"https:\/\/petwholesale.ca\/products\/drtim-s-aquatics-np-active-pearls-for-nutrient-reduction-all-aquaria-150gal","provider":"Pet Wholesale Canada","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
