Where to buy Elimi NP?

[Reefer911]

I'm running low, and I can't find an online vendor in the US that has it. Anyone know where to get it? BRS is out too.

I have two bottles that I ordered by mistake that I have been needing to return.

@Lou Ekus or @Hans-Werner. Can we get some advice On availability of 200 mL bottles and if we should all just use Bacto balance instead now.

Still no response from @Lou Ekus ir @Hans-Werner. On availability of 200 mL bottles and if we should all just use Bacto balance instead now.

I'm sure they will address it soon. Also pretty sure they will say to use bacto and elimi as directed. I got a 1000ml bottle of bacto yesterday just in case it goes AWOL like elimi. Gonna help bacto with some phosphate-e. I don't think bacto can keep my po4 in check by itself. Elimi was barely doing it. And I was dosing up to 8mls a day.

You can call Lou directly and he will answer all your questions

@Lou Ekus can you please let us know if the 200ml bottles will become available again?

 

[Coolcasino]

They will be available again. I believe only in the 200ml in a new style bottle I believe. I also think there will be big news coming from the TM camp. Was told from a reliable source that was told by the bosses at TM. The family is growing... maybe for the best... maybe not.

Hi Dave, The 200 ml bottle of ELIMI NP is changing to a new 250 ml bottle. You will see those new bottles become available very soon.

@Lou Ekus

They are available through our Tropic MArin Preferred Dealers. You can locate those at http://www.tropicmarin-usa.com/preferred-dealers.html . If you are waiting for Bulk Reef Supply to list these, I would contact them. I know they have them on the way and I would expect them to be listed. But I don't see them on the website yet. They are still showing only the 50 ml bottle. but the 150 ml bottle are now in the US. So you shoud be able to locate them someplace.

Thanks Lou for the update, I still have some 200 ml left, I was worried that TM had discontinued the product since it has been out of stock for quite some time.

New SKU sizes take some time to coordinate. Especially when we are working with our team in Germany. I know we are working on this.

Thank you Lou. 50ml bottles are out everywhere. I’ve tried. I only started with Elimi-NP about 2 weeks ago with little progress so far but to be fair I started at the minimum dosage. I’m assuming I need to add a lot more of the product to get this going. Started a couple of weeks ago at .1 PO4 and today I’m at .16 after adding about 5ml per day. Not quite going in the right direction yet. I have a 400gallon total volume. My NO3 is at 1.2. I’m probably going to increase to around 8ml per day once I can get some more product. I just want enough to get me around .05 or .06 consistently so I can start with Bacto Balance.

Just so you know, I have revised my optimum values a little. I think the NP BACTO Balance is good to use anywhere between about 0.05 and up to 0.15 ppm. So you are in a pretty good range at this point. It's not great to get too much above the 0.15 ppm. But I used to say 0.1 ppm was the top. So mayeb that will help. I would try the Balance wher you are and see how ot progresses. If it continues to rise, then switch back to the ELIMI NP. but you might find you are good with the BAlance at this value.

What dosage should I start with for the 400gallon?

 

[Lou Ekus]

What dosage should I start with for the 400gallon?

Depends on how long your tank has been running in it's current form. And is that 400 gallons of total system water volume? Or 400 gallon tank with a bunch of rock in it?

 

[Gabaghoul]

400 gallons total volume for about 8 years.

 

[Lou Ekus]

400 gallons total volume for about 8 years.

Then I would start with about 8-10 ml a day, and see what your levels do. Then adjust from there.

I dropped my PO4 to .12 with another product that I had available local to me. I am now on Bacto balance and it has kept my PO4 under .10 for the last 2 weeks in a 125 at 5ml a day. Bacto is is a fantastic product. Give it a try. Just go slow and look how your tank reacts.
