Nitribiotic

[bandando]

@Hans-Werner Please, does Nitribiotic contain carbon?
Have I to consider it in the max quantity daily of 2 ml/100l (with Plus NP or NP Bacto Balance, Phytonic and Zootonic ?
Thank you

I've used it before, although not with all those other additives. I think you'd be fine using it but you should take the advice given by @Hans-Werner when he replies. I think as long as you're keeping up with measuring your nitrate and phosphate levels you should be fine even if it does contain carbon though.

Yes, Nitribiotic also contains organic carbon as preservative, antioxidant and bacteria food after dosing. It has to be taken into account when calculating the maximum dosage of our organic carbon additives.

Ok, thank you for your fast reply

Do you have any type of instruction on how to use it with NP Bacto Balance or would it be just a guess work

Hey do you think it is safe to dose nitribiotic while I have a possible Dino bloom? I’m trying to get more biodiversity and both my phosphate and nitrate are reading zero. I also have plus np but have not been adding that. Thank you.

I highly doubt it would be unsafe in any way and since it does contain strains of bacteria not frequently found in other products (and even Saccharomyces which aren't bacteria), I think it would be a good choice for adding biodiversity. Again, I'd take @Hans-Werner advice over mine but feel he'd likely agree. I also applaud the company for their transparency regarding the bacterial strains present in the product! That's rare these days but extremely valuable and appreciated! Another product you might consider in addition to those you mentioned for adding biodiversity is AF Life Source. It's natural mud harvested from reefs near Fiji and although they didn't identify each and every strain of bacteria present (which would likely be impossible and it's a natural product regardless), I've used both Nitribiotic and AF Life Source myself in the past and personally feel they'd both be beneficial.

We have a lot of users using Nitribiotic against cyanobacteria. I think it is save and maybe rewarding to give it a try against dinoflagellates.

@Hans-Werner , if i am to start a new tank cycle with nitribiotic, what dosing instruction do i follow ? is it the initial dosage as per the calculator on the website and how many days/week should i dose according? How long would it takes to complete the cycle and do i need to add ammonia or can i add a few hardy fish for the cycle?

Thanks

I would also be interested in knowing the cycle timr
