Description

Seachem De Nitrate is an aquarium filtration product designed to remove nitrates, nitrites, ammonia, and organics from the water. It’s a high-porosity biological media that supports both aerobic nitrification and anaerobic denitrification, making it effective for maintaining a healthy aquarium environment. Here are some key points about Seachem De Nitrate:

High Porosity:

• Surface Area: Features a high surface area that promotes the growth of a dense population of beneficial bacteria.

Dual Function:

• Aerobic and Anaerobic: Promotes aerobic nitrification at the surface and anaerobic denitrification at the core of the media.

Usage:

• Optimal Placement: For best results, place in a manner that ensures water flows through the media, such as in a canister filter or box filter.

Flow Rate:

• Aerobic vs. Anaerobic: Functions primarily as an aerobic filter at high flow rates (greater than 100 US gallons per hour) and transitions to both aerobic and anaerobic filtration at slower flow rates (less than 50 US gallons per hour).

Seachem De Nitrate offers a versatile and efficient solution for biological filtration in aquariums, helping to maintain water quality and support a balanced aquatic ecosystem.
