 de*nitrate™
removes nitrates, nitrites, ammonia, and organics from
both fresh and marine water. The high porosity of de*nitrate™
supports the proliferation of both aerobic and anaerobic
bacteria that further remove these toxic aquarium byproducts.
Even when exhausted as an organic adsorbent, de*nitrate™
continues to be an excellent support for the biological
filter and does not have to be removed. This product
is sold by volume. Cited weight is minimal weight.

| DIRECTIONS:
For best results, de*nitrate™ should be placed
to assure the flow of water through it, such as in a
canister filter, chemical filtration module, or box
filter. Flow rate should not exceed 200 L (50 gallons*)
per hour. If higher flow rates are unavoidable, use
Matrix™ or Pond Matrix™. It is best to rinse
off dust before use. Once de*nitrate™ has been
in use for several days, nitrate concentrations should
start to fall and level off gradually at a concentration
of about 4–5 mg/L as nitrate. As long as nitrate
concentrations remain under control, the product is
not exhausted. Each 500 mL of de*nitrate™ treats
about 100–200 L (25–50 gallons*), depending
on initial nitrate concentration and the current biological
load. Enough should be used to remove nitrate at a rate
at least as fast as the rate of formation. If very high
nitrates are initially present, they should be brought
down to less than 20 mg/L with water changes. |
