Seachem DeNitrate 2000ml Nitrate Filter Media

Seachem DeNitrate 2000ml is an effective and natural filter media designed for comprehensive nitrate management in aquarium systems. Utilising a highly porous structure, it supports both aerobic nitrification on the surface and anaerobic denitrification inside, providing a sustainable method for maintaining optimal water quality.

Unlike conventional reef rocks, DeNitrate channels water through its porous form to maintain ideal anaerobic conditions, which are essential for effective nitrate removal. This design helps prevent the disruption of the anaerobic environment even at lower flow rates, making it suitable for various filtration systems such as canister filters, drip trays, sumps, and box filters.

With its significant surface area, DeNitrate supports dense populations of beneficial bacteria that are vital for efficient filtration. This not only ensures long-lasting performance but also offers a cost-effective solution for aquarium maintenance.

Key Features:

• Aerobic and anaerobic filtration for balanced nitrate control.
• High surface area for supporting beneficial bacteria.
• Cost-effective and long-lasting nitrate reduction.
• Versatile application in multiple filter types.
• Adaptive functionality at varied flow rates.

Place DeNitrate in a location with slow water flow, ensuring it remains below 200 L per hour for optimal anaerobic conditions. Initial nitrate reduction can be expected within days, stabilising levels around 4-5 mg/L. Pre-use rinsing is recommended to remove any dust. For substantial nitrate levels, consider performing water changes prior to introducing DeNitrate.

Specifications:

• Volume: 2000ml
• Effective flow rate: Below 200 L (50 gallons) per hour for anaerobic conditions.
• Effective range: Each 500mL treats 100-200L (25-50 gallons) depending on conditions.
