Raise Nitrate, The Safe Way
If your system runs too “clean”, corals can pale out and stall. Nitrate Increaser lets you raise nitrate predictably to keep your reef in a healthier, more stable range, without relying on heavy feeding or dirty swings.
Key highlights: Helps maintain 1 to 5 ppm, supports stronger growth and colouration, and keeps a balanced nitrate-to-phosphate ratio in ULNS systems.
Accurate, Measurable Results
Raises nitrate by ~1 ppm per 2 mL per 100 L, making it easy to calculate and repeat.
Prevents Nutrient Starvation
Helps reduce the risk of coral bleaching and stress caused by bottomed-out nutrients.
Supports Coral Health + Colour
Encourages stronger growth and better colouration in nutrient-limited tanks.
Easy to Dial In
Start small, test often, and fine-tune dosing to match your system’s consumption.
Nitrate Increaser is a reliable solution designed to safely raise nitrate levels in reef aquariums where nutrients are too low. Maintaining balanced nitrate is crucial for preventing coral starvation, pale colouration, and reduced growth. By providing a controlled source of nitrate, this product supports healthy coral metabolism, enhances colour, and promotes stable nutrient ratios for a thriving reef system.
Key Benefits
- Increases nitrate by 1 ppm per 2 mL per 100 L.
- Helps prevent coral bleaching and nutrient stress.
- Supports strong growth and vibrant coral colouration.
- Promotes a balanced nitrate-to-phosphate ratio.
- Improves overall stability in ultra-low nutrient systems.
Modern reef aquariums often run ultra-low nutrient levels, which can lead to nitrate depletion. Corals require nitrate as a source of nitrogen for protein synthesis and to support their symbiotic zooxanthellae. Nitrate Increaser delivers a precise dose of nitrate, ensuring corals receive the nutrients they need while allowing you to maintain full control of your system’s nutrient balance.
- Standard Dose: 2 mL per 100 liters (26 gallons) increases nitrate by approximately 1 ppm.
- Recommended nitrate range: 1–5 ppm.
- Begin with a smaller dose and adjust gradually based on test results.
- Every system consumes nitrate differently, test frequently and fine-tune dosing to match consumption rates.
- Use within 1 year of opening.
- Dose into a high-flow area of your sump or display tank for even distribution.
- Automatic dosing pumps provide consistent and controlled application.
- Test nitrate regularly to avoid overdosing or rapid swings.
- Keep phosphate balanced alongside nitrate (~100:1 ratio is ideal).
- Not for human consumption.
- Keep out of reach of children.
- Avoid contact with skin or eyes; wear gloves and eye protection.
- If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water and seek medical advice if irritation persists.
- Nitrate consistently measures below 1 ppm.
- Corals show pale colour, reduced polyp extension, or slow growth.
- You want to stabilise nutrients to support coral colouration and health.
- As part of a nutrient management routine in ultra-low nutrient reef tanks.
