Seachem De*nitrate 1l

Description

Seachem De*nitrate 1L — Porous biological filter media for nitrate control in low-flow water aquariums & fish tanks, safe for sensitive freshwater plants, reefs & fish species

Seachem De*nitrate 1L (SKU: 724956-137) is a natural mineral filter media crafted to combat elevated nitrate levels through biological pathways. Featuring a porous surface geometry, it provides optimal surface area for nitrifying and denitrifying bacteria. Placed in slow-flowing filter chambers, it encourages anaerobic microbial activity that converts nitrate into harmless nitrogen gas.

This 1-litre pack offers sufficient volume for standard canister filters, reactors, and internal filtration compartments. It requires no chemical recharging, does not leach absorbed materials, and remains safe for sensitive freshwater plants, reef invertebrates, and delicate fish species.

Usage & Application

When to Use

• Targeted Nitrate Management: Ideal for medium freshwater community tanks or marine setups needing steady nitrate control.

• Low-Flow Filter Installation: Designed for low-flow canisters, bypass reactors, or internal biological filters.

Placement & Flow Guide

• Enclose media inside a mesh media bag and position in the filter system.

• Keep water flow velocity through the media below 200 L/h (50 US GPH) to retain low-oxygen internal conditions.

• Rinse with freshwater before initial use to clear minor shipping dust.
