DeNitrate

🧪 Usage Instructions

Initial Setup (When first introducing into system):

• Rinse before use to remove dust.
• Amount: Use 250 mL of de❊nitrate for every 100–200 L (25–50 US gallons) of water.
• Placement: For best results, place in a low-flow area such as a sump, canister filter, or trickle filter. Flow rate should be <200 L/hr (50 US gal/hr) to allow for anaerobic bacterial activity.

Maintenance Dosing (Ongoing filtration):

• de❊nitrate lasts several months to years depending on bio-load.
• Do not clean with chlorinated water—rinse gently with old tank water if needed.
• Replace only when nitrate begins rising again and bacterial populations are exhausted.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: How does denitrate differ from standard biological media?
A: Unlike standard bio media, denitrate has a unique pore structure that supports both aerobic and anaerobic bacteria, allowing it to remove nitrate in addition to ammonia and nitrite.

Q: Can I use denitrate in a high-flow filter?
A: No. denitrate is optimized for low-flow conditions. High flow prevents anaerobic zones from forming, which are essential for denitrification.

Q: Is it safe for planted or reef tanks?
A: Yes, it is completely safe for planted, reef, and fish-only systems.

Q: When should I replace denitrate?
A: Only when you observe a gradual increase in nitrate levels and bacterial activity has diminished.

Q: Can I use denitrate with chemical filtration like carbon or Purigen?
A: Yes, it’s compatible with chemical filtration products. Just ensure it is placed in a low-flow section for optimal results.
