Description
NP-Bacto-Balance is carbon dosing with a safety net. Rather than a bare carbon source that can strip a system bare, it pairs selected organic carbon compounds with inorganic nitrogen and phosphorus, so bacteria lock excess nutrients into biomass without driving nitrate and phosphate to zero.
That balance is the whole reason to pick it over plain vodka or biopellets: far less risk of a nutrient crash, cyano outbreak or bacterial bloom, and corals, sponges and other filter feeders keep the trace nutrition they actually need. Start at the low end of the label dose and climb gradually – carbon dosing rewards patience.
The 500 ml bottle is the practical size for a single display tank.

Shipping & Returns
- Equipment and dry goods ship at their own rate. Free shipping at $349 or more applies to qualifying livestock only — corals, fish, inverts and live copepods. The $10 box & handling fee is a livestock packing fee and does not apply to dry-goods orders.
- All sales are final on equipment and dry goods. We are a retail store, not the manufacturer.
- Register your product with the manufacturer and keep your receipt — their warranty is how a faulty unit gets replaced, and they are faster at it than a shop could be.
- Not sure who to contact for a warranty claim? Call us and we will point you to the right place.
