HeldeReef Nitrate Plus

Precision Macro-Nutrient Supplement for Low-Nutrient Reef Systems

Achieving the perfect balance between clean water and adequate coral nutrition is one of the most critical aspects of modern reef-keeping. Running a saltwater tank with zero measurable nitrates often leads to pale SPS corals, slow growth rates, dinoflagellate outbreaks, and coral tissue bleaching. HeldeReef Nitrate Plus provides an easy, reliable way to introduce bioavailable nitrate back into nutrient-depleted reef aquariums.

Key Benefits

1. Corrects Coral Starvation & Washed-Out Colors

Corals rely on symbiotic zooxanthellae algae, which require trace amounts of nitrogen (nitrate) to produce essential proteins and vivid pigments. Dosing HeldeReef Nitrate Plus reverses pale coloration, enhances deep natural reds, greens, and blues, and stimulates rapid tissue growth in Acropora, Montipora, and LPS corals.

2. Restores Biological Balance & Outbreak Control

In modern reef setups equipped with heavy protein skimmers, carbon dosing, or refugiums, nitrates can easily drop to zero while phosphates linger. This nutrient imbalance frequently triggers nuisance dinoflagellates or cyano outbreaks. Maintaining a steady nitrate baseline helps foster beneficial bacteria populations and stabilizing micro-fauna.

3. High-Concentration Precision Dosing

With a guaranteed analysis of 10,000 ppm NO3-, a single 500 ml bottle provides long-lasting value for nano setups and large display systems alike. The clear dosage math allows automated dosing pumps or manual additions to maintain your desired reef parameters without unwanted additives.

Product Specifications & Guaranteed Analysis

• Volume: 500 ml (16.9 fl oz)

• Guaranteed Analysis: Nitrate (NO3-) 10,000 ppm

• Target Application: Marine reef aquariums, ultra-low nutrient systems (ULNS), and coral propagation tanks

• Recommended Reef Target Range: 2.0 ppm – 12.0 ppm

Directions for Use & Dosing Guidelines

1. Test First: Always verify your baseline nitrate levels using a calibrated, reliable marine test kit before dosing.

2. Standard Dosage: Adding 5 ml per 100 L (26 gal) of total aquarium water volume increases nitrate (NO3-) by approximately 0.5 ppm.

3. Application Method: Shake the bottle thoroughly before use. Dilute the measured dose into a small container of RODI water and pour directly into a high-flow area of your sump or main display.

4. Safety Dosing Cap: Do not increase nitrate by more than 2.0 ppm within a 24-hour period. Increase levels gradually over several days to avoid stressing livestock.

Precautions & Storage

• For Ornamental Marine Aquariums Only: Not for human consumption or food-producing aquatic animals.

• Child Safety: Keep out of reach of children and pets.

• Storage: Store tightly sealed at room temperature away from direct sunlight.
