Equo BIO-Extra

Biological Activator liquid
with heterotrophic bacterial flora

A condition necessary for the development and proliferation of organisms bred in aquariums is a low concentration of nutrients.

Particularly in marine barrier aquariums, in order to allow for the correct growth of hard coral, it’s necessary to maintain the Phosphate (PO4) concentration below 0.01 ml per litre and Nitrates (NO3) below 3 ml per litre.

Bacteria families(Bacillus) called heterotrophs and selected enzymes exist which, during their lifecycle metabolise the phosphates and nitrates present in their environment, absorbing them into their biomass, in this way, noticeably lowering the concentration of nutrients.

BIO-EXTRA is made up of a variety of bacteria and enzymes, specifically selected to cut down the nutritious substances in the aquarium.
