de❊nitrate is a porous biological support designed to effectively remove nitrates through anaerobic denitrification, while ensuring the nitrification of ammonia and nitrites in the aerobic zone.
SEACHEM
Nitrate removal through anaerobic denitrification.
Highly porous biological support.
Promotes nitrification and denitrification in a single medium.
Reduction of ammonia and nitrites.
No risk of hydrogen sulfide production.
Does not deplete over time.
The porous structure of de❊nitrate allows aerobic bacteria to settle on the outer layers, consuming dissolved oxygen, while the internal areas become anaerobic and host denitrifying bacteria.
At low flow rates, this process replicates the biological function of live reef rock, with enhanced efficiency due to the forced passage of water through the media.
Recommended flow rate: less than 200 L/h.
Optimal denitrifying function: flow rate less than 50 US gallons per hour.
At high flow rates, the media functions only as aerobic nitrification support.
Use 500 ml for approximately 100 to 200 liters of water.
Place in a cartridge filter, external filter, sump, or filtration module.
Rinse briefly before use to remove dust.
Pre-filter the water to prevent pore clogging.
de❊nitrate is a permanent biomedia that does not deplete. As long as nitrates remain under control, the media remains active. Occasional rinsing in aquarium water can be done if clogging occurs.
In the presence of very high nitrates, it is recommended to lower them below 20 mg/L through water changes before media installation.
