Warner Marine EcoBak 20L – Large Volume BioPellets for Reef Nutrient Control
Advanced Nutrient Reduction for Large Aquariums
Warner Marine EcoBak is a premium biodegradable polymer media that acts as both a carbon food source and substrate for beneficial bacteria. These bacteria naturally reduce nitrates and phosphates, improving water clarity, preventing nuisance algae, and creating a healthier environment for corals and fish.
The 20L bulk size is ideal for large reef systems, aquaculture facilities, and advanced hobbyists seeking reliable, long-term nutrient management without harmful chemical additives.
How EcoBak Works
-
Natural Carbon Source – Provides an organic food source that supports the growth of nutrient-reducing bacteria.
-
Nutrient Export – Bacteria consume EcoBak pellets while simultaneously removing nitrate and phosphate.
-
Reef Safe & Effective – Reduces algae, enhances coral coloration, and promotes fish health.
-
Coral Nutrition – Produces planktonic bacteria that serve as a supplemental coral food source.
Usage Guidelines
-
Dosage: Use 250ml per 50 gallons (190L) of aquarium water.
-
Preparation: Rinse pellets in purified water; soak overnight to reduce floating.
-
Reactor Setup: Place EcoBak in a fluidized bio-pellet media reactor with ~100gph flow per litre of pellets. Ensure a gentle tumble (not aggressive).
-
Skimmer Integration: Direct reactor output into the protein skimmer intake chamber for maximum export.
-
Maturation: Expect a 3–4 week colonization period before nutrient reduction begins.
Tips for Best Results:
-
Start with ⅓ of the recommended dose, increasing weekly until full dosage is reached.
-
For high-nutrient tanks (Nitrate 40+ ppm, Phosphate 2+ ppm), begin with ¼ dose.
-
Always ensure a properly rated protein skimmer and adequate tank circulation.
-
Replace EcoBak gradually as it is consumed by bacteria.
