Denitrification Pellets are produced naturally and are made up of biologically degradable polymers . The Beads provide a  perfect surface area as well as a constant carbon source, as the bacteria consume the solid carbon source they help deplete the system of Nitrate and Phosphate. Over time the bacteria will consume the Bio Beads and more will need to be added. NpX-Bio Beads are best run in a fluidized Reactor and tumbled aggressively.

Bonus Planctonic food source!

   The high population of bacteria within the reactor make their way out into the water column in the form of "mulm" this mulm is consumed by various filter and suspension feeding organisms such as sponges, corals, and filter feeders, or skimmed off by the protein skimmer helping with nutrient export.  Denitrification usually gets up to full speed within 1-2 weeks of starting the NpX-Bio Beads. Using denitrification beads such as NpX-Bio Beads will have the added benefit of not clogging up important components and other surfaces due to the concentrated colonization of bacteria within the reactor compartment only.
