Seachem De*nitrate 2l

Description

Seachem De*nitrate 2L — Natural mineral filtration media for both aerobic and anaerobic nitrate reduction that operate in low-water-velocity aquariums

Seachem De*nitrate 2L (SKU: 724957-138) provides a high-volume natural porous stone media tailored for medium-to-large aquarium biological filtration systems. Designed to operate in low-water-velocity environments, it supports both aerobic bio-filtration on its outer shell and anaerobic denitrification deep inside its porous structure. This dual-zone bacterial support breaks down ammonia, nitrite, and persistent nitrate into non-toxic gas.

Unlike chemical resins that absorb limited quantities of nitrate before needing regeneration, De*nitrate provides a permanent biological housing unit that does not wear out over time. It is chemically inert, ensuring that water hardness and pH levels remain unchanged during continuous operation.

Usage & Application

When to Use

• Moderate to High Nitrate Control: Suitable for medium aquariums experiencing persistent nitrate buildup from high bioloads.

• Canister & Sump Integration: Houses effectively in slow-flow media reactors, canister filter trays, or internal filter chambers.

Placement & Flow Guide

• Secure media inside a fine mesh bag prior to placing in filter media chambers.

• Maintain water flow rate through the media under 200 L/h (50 US GPH) to sustain internal anaerobic zones.

• Use mechanical filter floss upstream to protect media pores from organic detritus accumulation.

Product Specifications & Highlights

Key Features

• Micro-Porous Stone Structure: Fosters beneficial aerobic and anaerobic bacterial colonies.

• Natural Nitrate Conversion: Converts nitrate into nitrogen gas via natural biological pathways.

• Permanent Bio-Support: Physical stone substrate does not exhaust or leach bound compounds.

• Aquatic Safe: Neutral mineral composition won’t shift pH or hardness parameters.
