Seachem de Nitrate Filter for Aquariums 500ml

An economical, natural, porous material with a pore distribution and geometry that promotes both aerobic nitrifications within the first few millimeters of depth and anaerobic denitrification at the core. The material has a high surface area and supports a high density of bacteria. Although de nitrate has the capacity to trap nitrate, this, as with other nitrate-retaining materials, such as certain zeolites and synthetic resins, is quite limited and the primary mechanism of nitrate removal is anaerobic.
