Overview
Bring dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN: NH₃/NH₄⁺, NO₂⁻, NO₃⁻) back into line with precision. Elimin8 DIN is a BluePrint-compatible liquid formulated for controlled reduction of nitrogen species in modern reef systems. Use it to make deliberate, stepwise adjustments that restore clarity and stability—without “bottoming out” nutrients or shocking livestock.
Key Features
-
Targeted DIN control — Tunable reductions of ammonia/ammonium, nitrite, and nitrate when dosed as directed.
-
Clean export — Aids removal via mechanical filtration and skimming after treatment.
-
Low-nutrient friendly — Designed for small, repeatable adjustments to avoid rapid swings.
-
Methodology-ready — Integrates with Captiv8 BluePrint testing and dosing schedules.
-
Two sizes — 60 mL for trials/smaller systems and 355 mL for ongoing programs.
Directions
-
Test first: Measure NH₃/NH₄⁺, NO₂⁻, and NO₃⁻ with reliable kits or a meter; set realistic targets (avoid absolute zero).
-
Start low: Dose per label for total system volume, beginning at ½ of the recommended starting dose for the first applications.
-
High-flow addition: Dose into a well-aerated, high-flow area upstream of fine mechanical filtration and your protein skimmer.
-
Iterate: Re-test after each dose cycle. Make small, incremental corrections to “walk” DIN down to target.
-
Maintain: Once in range, switch to smaller periodic doses to hold levels steady.
Important: Rapid DIN drops can stress corals and fish. Adjust gradually and let testing guide your next dose.
Best Practices
-
Keep mechanical media (socks/floss/rollers) fresh during active reduction to capture particulates.
-
Maintain strong aeration and circulation; nitrogen processing increases oxygen demand.
-
Coordinate with your bacterial program (e.g., Remedi8/Propag8) for resilient biofilms after reductions.
-
Avoid using immediately before large water changes or fresh chemical media swaps; dose after those events for consistent contact time.
-
Record DIN trends to refine a stable maintenance routine.
Compatibility
-
Safe for reef, frag, and FOWLR systems when used as directed.
-
Works alongside skimmers, carbon, and phosphate media (tune adsorbers conservatively to prevent over-stripping).
-
Space additions several hours from other liquid supplements and avoid simultaneous use with strong oxidizers.
