Nitra Guard Biocubes

[monizb]

How many of you run bio pellets or nitra guard biocubes ? I see lots of mix reviews on bio pellets and not much on the cubes

I used nitra guard. But once my first batch exhausted itself. I never replaced it.

I basically used it to control nitrates before my fuge was mature enough to handle the bio load. Now that my fuge is in full swing. I have no need for the nitra guard anymore.

Currently po4 at 0 and no3 at 1ppm

I ran Nita guard when I wasn't using ro water. Had 40ppm nitrates as I'm off a well with a softener. Got them done to minimal amounts after about 3 months.

I am running Nitra Guard Bio cubes and feel they have helped keep my nitrates down. They aren't a 0 but are under 10ppm but I feed heavily and have very fat happy fish. I started with less then recommended amount for my 110gallona total water volume I started with only 500ml and never increased. I learned and found a lot of info on them on another forum Marine Aquariums South Africa. My google searches led me there where I became well informed and talked to others who had been using them successfully for quite a while. I had tried bio pellets and was not happy with results I was seeing this is why I made the switch.

Nitra guard worked great for me. My nitrates were 160+ I run 2 bombs of Nitra guard and still am, they have turned completely black now, my nitrates have been steady at 0 for quite a while.. took a few months to get it under control.. great product.

So far nitrates are dropping from 40to 20 would like to see under 10 water changes every week and less food

Give them time to work. They work well over a long period of time, leave the. In for months and don't touch them

Also for some reason if you give the bomb a shake here and there you may see a great feeding response from your coral. I noticed this when working in my sump and they got moved around a bit. I then read on Marine Aquarium South Africa that some of the other Nitra Guard users had found the same thing. Not saying give a violent shake.
