NPX Bioplastics BioPellets 200ml – Aquarium Nitrate Phosphate Filter Media
NPX Bioplastics BioPellets 200ml – Aquarium Nitrate Phosphate Filter Media
Two Little Fishies NPX Bioplastics BioPellets – 200ml Aquarium Filter Media
Achieve crystal-clear, healthier aquarium water with Two Little Fishies NPX Bioplastics BioPellets — premium granular filter media engineered from biodegradable polymers. Designed specifically for use in a fluidized bio reactor, these biopellets create the ideal environment for beneficial bacteria to colonize, naturally reducing excess nitrate and phosphate levels in both reef and marine aquariums.
Why Choose NPX Bioplastics BioPellets?
- Biodegradable Polymer Construction: Made from high-quality biodegradable bioplastic granules that serve as a carbon source to fuel bacterial colonies.
- Nitrate & Phosphate Reduction: Promotes denitrification and phosphate uptake through natural bacterial activity, keeping water parameters stable and balanced.
- Fluidized Reactor Compatible: Engineered for optimal performance in fluidized reactors, ensuring maximum surface contact and bacterial colonization.
- 200ml Volume: Ample quantity suitable for small to medium marine and reef aquarium setups.
- Supports a Thriving Ecosystem: Helps maintain water quality that supports vibrant coral growth and healthy fish populations.
Product Specifications
- Volume: 200ml
- Media Type: Granular BioPellets (Biodegradable Polymer)
- Recommended Use: Fluidized bio reactor
- Application: Marine, reef, and saltwater aquariums
- Made in: Mainland China
How to Use
- Rinse the BioPellets thoroughly with fresh water before use.
- Load the pellets into a compatible fluidized reactor (not included).
- Set the flow rate so the pellets tumble gently and continuously — this prevents clumping and encourages even bacterial colonization.
- Allow 4–8 weeks for a mature bacterial colony to establish. Monitor nitrate and phosphate levels regularly and adjust flow as needed.
Tips for Best Results
- Start with a low flow rate and gradually increase to keep pellets lightly tumbling.
- Use a protein skimmer alongside biopellets for optimal water clarity.
- Replace or top up the BioPellets as they are consumed over time (typically every 3–6 months).

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What size aquarium are 200ml of NPX Bioplastics BioPellets suitable for?
A: A 200ml dose of NPX Bioplastics BioPellets is generally recommended for aquariums up to approximately 100–150 gallons, depending on the bio-load of your tank. Higher bio-loads may require a larger volume of biopellets or a more frequent replacement schedule.
Q: Do I need a special reactor to use these BioPellets?
A: Yes, NPX Bioplastics BioPellets are designed for use in a fluidized reactor. Keeping the pellets in gentle, constant motion prevents them from clumping together and ensures maximum surface area exposure for beneficial bacterial growth.
Q: How long does it take for BioPellets to start reducing nitrates and phosphates?
A: It typically takes 4 to 8 weeks for a stable colony of beneficial bacteria to develop on the biopellets. You should begin to notice gradual improvements in nitrate and phosphate readings within this period. Running a protein skimmer alongside the reactor will accelerate results.
Q: Are NPX Bioplastics BioPellets safe for reef tanks with corals and invertebrates?
A: Yes, when used correctly, NPX Bioplastics BioPellets are safe for reef tanks, corals, and invertebrates. It is important to introduce them gradually and monitor water parameters closely, as a rapid drop in nutrients can stress some corals. Consistent, moderate use is recommended.
