Thanks to the special design and high quality pellets NPO Pellets, this setup is efficient and cost effective.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFauna Marin Redupellets consist of a 100% biodegradable biopolymer that has been specially developed for nutrient reduction. Additionally, it also finds application in the treatment of drinking water. Fauna Marin Redupellets promote the growth of aerobic and anaerobic bacteria to create a controlled nitrogen cycle in the filter system. The bacteria feed from the pellets and nutrients from the aquarium. Continued usage will help with Nitrogen and phosphate reduction thereby preventing the growth of algae and increasing bacterioplankton production for feeding corals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuper effective nitrate and phosphate reduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrystal clear water, even at high stocking densities\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNutrients are converted into bacterioplankton\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100% Biodegradable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuffice 25-30ml pellets per 100 liters of water quantity as special pellets extremely high density\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVery low carbon emission, so controlled nutrient decomposition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eabsolutely reefsafe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for ponds and aquariums\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtremely effective\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePreparation of pellets\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWater the required amount of pellets for 24 hours in tap water or douse them with boiling water and let it then for 2 hours in the water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnused pellets should be completely dried, otherwise they cannot be reused.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe recommend to use the REDU PELLETS with the special Fauna Marin Pellets Filter.\u003cbr\u003eAvoid leaving the feed pump off for more than 8 hours.
