Warner Marine EcoBak 1L – Biodegradable BioPellets for Nitrate & Phosphate Control

Natural Nutrient Reduction for Reef Aquariums

Warner Marine EcoBak is a unique biodegradable polymer media that serves as both a carbon food source and substrate for beneficial bacteria. These bacteria efficiently consume phosphates and nitrates, reducing nuisance algae, improving water clarity, and creating a healthier reef environment.

Unlike chemical additives, EcoBak works naturally to restore water quality while also supplying planktonic bacteria as a coral food source.

How EcoBak Works

• Carbon Food Source – Provides the preferred organic food source for key bacteria strains.

• Nutrient Export – As bacteria consume the pellets, they simultaneously remove phosphates and nitrates.

• Balanced System – Helps prevent nuisance algae, enhances coral coloration, and improves fish health.

• Coral Support – Supplies natural planktonic bacteria to feed corals and filter feeders.

Usage Instructions

• Dosage: Use 250ml per 50 gallons of aquarium water.

• Preparation: Rinse pellets in purified fresh water; soak overnight to reduce floating.

• Reactor Setup: Place in a fluidized bio-pellet media reactor with ~100gph flow per liter. Adjust flow for a gentle tumbling motion.

• Skimmer Placement: Direct reactor output into the same sump chamber as your protein skimmer intake for maximum export.

• Maturation Period: Bacteria colonization typically takes 3–4 weeks.

Tips for Best Results:

• Start with 1/3 dosage, increasing weekly until full dose is reached.

• For high-nutrient tanks (Nitrate 40ppm+, Phosphate 2ppm+), begin with 1/4 dosage.

• Ensure protein skimmer is properly rated and circulation pumps are agitating the surface.

• Replace EcoBak as it is consumed by bacteria.
