NEW NAME NCOMP is now NITROPLEX — same trusted formula, complete nitrogen-cycle consortium
AEROBIC NITROPLEX — 16-strain nitrogen reduction consortium for oxygenated systems
NUTRIENT OC-K — Microbe Nutrient Growth Fuel for Bacterial Culturing
✓ Aerobic Nitrate Removal
✓ No Methanol Required
✓ No H₂S Risk
✓ 16 Cultured Strains
✓ OC-K Ready — Zero Lag
Traditional denitrification requires anaerobic zones, methanol dosing, and specialised equipment. NITROPLEX (formerly NCOMP) removes nitrate aerobically — no anoxic reactors, no H₂S risk. 16 synergistic strains cultured together at ≥1×10¹⁰ CFU/mL. Pair it with OC-K nutrient fuel for rapid biomass building and pond-side culturing. Complete nitrogen cycle management, simplified.
Featured Products
Nitrifying & Denitrifying Solutions
Two products, one complete nitrogen management system. NITROPLEX delivers a 16-strain aerobic nitrogen consortium; OC-K fuels microbial growth at industrial scale.
NITROPLEX
Complete Nitrogen Reduction Consortium — Aerobic (Formerly NCOMP)
A 16-strain consortium cultured together — removing ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate in fully oxygenated systems. Facultative heterotrophic and aerobic denitrifying strains oxidise organic carbon using nitrate as an electron acceptor — bypassing the need for anoxic zones entirely.
✓ Aerobic nitrate removal — no anaerobic reactors
✓ 16 synergistic strains at ≥1×10¹⁰ CFU/mL
✓ No methanol or external carbon dosing required
✓ Pre-adapted to OC-K carbon — zero lag on start-up
Available in 100ml, 250ml, 500ml, 1000ml

Microbe Nutrient Growth Fuel
100% organic, alcohol-free bacterial nutrition engineered to feed Archaea through Nitrospira — with metalloenzymes, nucleotides, and trace elements. No boom-and-bust cycles.
✓ 100% organic & aquatic-based formula
✓ Alcohol-free — no rapid spikes or crashes
✓ Feeds Archaea to Nitrospira — broad spectrum
✓ Metalloenzyme core with trace elements
Available in 200ml, 500ml, 1000ml, 5L, 20L

Synergistic Pairing
Complete Nitrogen Management System
NITROPLEX and OC-K are designed to work together. NITROPLEX provides the 16-strain nitrifying and denitrifying consortium; OC-K provides the fuel to grow them at scale.
True Microbial Consortium
16 hand-selected strains cultured together — not blended post-fermentation, creating the same synergistic community found in a mature, high-performance biofilter.
Pre-Adapted to OC-K Carbon
All strains are grown on OC-K microbial nutrient — carbon they already recognise. They transition into your system without lag time, food-source switching, or biomass die-off.
Enhanced Biofilter Efficiency
Trace elements and nucleotides in OC-K provide metalloenzyme cofactors essential for nitrogen cycling enzymes — urease, ammonia monooxygenase, nitrite oxidoreductase, and nitrate reductase.
Safe & Natural Operation
Both products use native carbon sources only. No methanol, no synthetic growth inducers, no risk of H₂S production. Safe for fish, crustaceans, molluscs, and aquatic plants.
The Nitrogen Cycle
From Ammonia to Nitrogen Gas
Complete biological nitrogen management in four stages — all achievable aerobically with NITROPLEX.
01
Ammonia → Nitrite
Nitrosomonas, Nitrosospira and Archaea oxidise toxic NH₃ to NO₂⁻. NITROPLEX includes native nitrifying populations for rapid startup.
02
Nitrite → Nitrate
Nitrospira and Nitrobacter convert NO₂⁻ to NO₃⁻. OC-K trace elements provide Mo, Cu, and Fe cofactors for nitrite oxidoreductase enzymes.
03
Nitrate → N₂ Gas
Facultative heterotrophic and aerobic denitrifying strains use nitrate as an electron acceptor — even in oxygenated water. No anaerobic zone needed.
04
Probiotic Stability
Supporting probiotic strains assimilate waste, protect the consortium, and maintain a resilient biofilter that resists crashes long-term.
SynergyStart-Up
Pair NITROPLEX with OC-K for maximum speed and resilience. Because every strain is pre-adapted to OC-K carbon, dosing OC-K alongside NITROPLEX during start-up delivers zero-lag colonisation, faster biofilter maturation, and lower peak ammonia/nitrite/nitrate. For best results maintain dissolved oxygen > 4 mg/L and pH 7.0–8.5, and pause protein skimmers, UV and ozone for 6 hours after dosing.
