Aquatic Nature Nitrate Stop M seawater effectively absorbs nitrate from the aquarium
In many marine aquariums, the nitrate levels (NO3) can become quite high. There are several reasons for this issue, including the use of tap water, overfeeding, infrequent water changes, and inadequate filtration, particularly when it comes to activated carbon. These factors can lead to an accumulation of organic substances, which typically results in nitrate levels that significantly exceed the ideal range of 15 to 20 mg/litre.
While lower animals such as leather corals, stony corals, and giant clams do require some nitrate, levels of 30 mg/litre or more should be avoided. High nitrate levels can encourage unwanted algae growth and negatively affect the tissue structure of corals.
USAGE: NITRAT STOP M from AQUATIC NATURE is designed to efficiently absorb nitrate from the aquarium through ion exchange. To achieve the best results, it is advisable to filter with activated carbon for a week. This will help absorb organic substances and enhance the effectiveness of NITRAT STOP M.
Before use, rinse the NITRAT STOP M granules with seawater—use 2.5 liters for the 300 ml size and 5 liters for the 600 ml size of NITRAT STOP M. Place the NITRAT STOP M in the aquarium or sump using a filter net, ensuring there is a good flow around it.
Please note that NITRAT STOP M from AQUATIC NATURE cannot be regenerated and is not suitable for use in freshwater.
