Precision Nitrate Supplement

Nitrify delivers a consistent, ACS‑grade nitrate source for reef systems that chronically test near‑zero for nitrate. Adequate NO₃ is critical for zooxanthellae photosynthesis, coral coloration, macroalgae growth, and overall microbial balance. Prolonged deficiency can impair phosphate uptake, slow growth, and allow nuisance dinoflagellates or cyanobacteria to dominate. Nitrify enables precise NO₃ correction without adding organics, cloudiness, or unwanted trace metals. Each mL raises NO₃ by ~8 ppm per US gallon (3.8 L).

Instructions 

Dose 1 mL per 1 US gallon (3.8 L) to raise nitrate by ~8 ppm. Begin with a partial dose and test after 24 hours before repeating. Dose into a high‑flow area (sump or rear chamber preferred). Avoid large swings; small, frequent doses are safer than large, infrequent ones. Always test with a reliable high‑range nitrate kit before and after dosing. In established tanks, actual NO₃ rise may be lower than expected due to binding, microbial uptake, or denitrification; adjust dosing based on test results. Maintaining measurable nitrate can help suppress dinoflagellate or cyanobacteria outbreaks, especially when phosphate and overall microbial balance are also supported.

Ingredients

  • Purified RO/DI water
  • Proprietary ACS‑grade nitrate salts

Storage

  • Keep tightly capped and out of direct sunlight.
  • Store between 15 – 30 °C (59 – 86 °F).
  • Crystals that form below 10 °C will redissolve when warmed and shaken.

Safety Information

  • Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing.
  • If on skin or in eyes, rinse with water for 15 minutes.
  • If swallowed, rinse mouth and seek medical advice.
  • Wash hands after use. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
  • Not for human consumption.
  • Dispose of empty container in accordance with local regulations.
