Aqua Medic Denigran 4 x 50gr

Aqua Medic Denigran 4 x 50gr Supports the natural degradation of nitrate in salt and freshwater aquariums, also helps to solve algae problems

Denigran is a unique granular media crafted from special plastic that enhances the growth of nitrate-removing bacteria. This product effectively removes the crucial nutrient, nitrate, from algae without the need for chemical additives, and there is no requirement for additional feeding of the bacteria.

The optimally designed mesh bag ensures the best possible water flow through the media, allowing Denigran to remain effective for up to 12 months, depending on the population of bacteria present.

Content:

• 4 mesh bags of 50 grams each

Application:

• 1-2 bags per 50 liters of aquarium water

This product supports natural nitrate reduction, which assists in combating algae problems. In most aquariums, nitrate accumulation is often a result of overfeeding fish or the decay of plant matter that exceeds the utilization rate of existing plants. Regular water changes or the use of nitrate filters are common methods to manage nitrate levels. If your tap water contains high nitrate levels, and using a nitrate filter seems too complicated, Aqua Medic Denigran is an excellent alternative.

Denigran is made from biodegradable plastic and comes in a specially designed bag that allows for limited flow through a filter with strong currents while remaining oxygen-rich. Oxygen develops quickly within the bags due to the restricted flow, enabling bacteria to extract their oxygen directly from the nitrate. The remaining nitrogen gas escapes harmlessly.

For optimal results, use 1 to 2 bags for every 50 liters of aquarium water, adjusting based on the number of fish and the nitrate content. It is advisable to introduce the bags gradually, allowing about fourteen days between additions.

It is normal for the water to become cloudy during this process, which is a sign of bacterial growth. If the cloudiness persists, consider reducing the number of bags in use. Over time, the plastic balls will be consumed by the bacteria, necessitating a gradual replacement of the bags without opening or refilling them. The nitrogen gas that accumulates in the bags is harmless and can be released by gently squeezing the bags.

Typically, it takes about 3 to 6 weeks for the granulate to become populated with sufficient bacteria. When placing the bags in a filter, ensure that water can still flow around them to prevent clogging.
