Tetra Nitrateminus Liquid, 250 ml

Product Information

Add 2.5ml of NitrateMinus per 10 litres of aquarium water, on a weekly basis. Dose rate can be doubled for additional nitrate control. Depending on the starting concentration of nitrate in the aquarium, it can take a few weeks to reach the desired level. Once achieved, levels will remain low. Cons: Make sure to dose into the filter. If you dose straight into the water column it forms small "squiggly" like material that floats around. It settles eventually. If you dose into the filter it still creates white dust like particles temporarily but not as bad. It will not hurt your fish if they eat it. These following two are purely aesthetic and do not interfere with the way it works. This may or may not happen to you but thought I'd mention them. Damaged on arrival?

Nitrate is a natural end product of healthy biological filtration, and may also be contained in tap water. High levels can encourage excessive algal growth, which can make the aquarium look unsightly. NitrateMinus reduce and controls nitrate, for improved water quality and better algae control.Tetra NitrateMinus is used to permanently reduce the nitrate content and biocide-free algae control in fresh and saltwater aquariums. For your own protection, we recommend that goods that are to be returned, are sent via a recorded delivery service with sufficient insurance to cover the cost of the goods.

High nitrate levels can encourage excessive algae growth, which can make the aquarium look unsightly. Unlike other nitrate reducing products, which need regular recharging and replacing, Tetra NitrateMinus is simply added weekly to the aquarium. Also unlike many ordinary nitrate reducing products, NitrateMinus does not need to be added to a filter system to work, but is simply added straight to the water. Slower to see an impact than other nitrate reducers. Takes a couple weeks to start seeing an impact. The water is not clarified mechanically by a filter system alone. Special bacteria are required for the conversion of ammonia to nitrate, which find a large space in a sufficiently dimensioned filter system. With the use of Tetra SafeStart, the aquarist creates optimal conditions for good bioactivity in the aquarium. A widespread opinion that predominantly the bacteria of the Nitrobacter group are active as nitrifying bacteria in the aquarium has been scientifically refuted. In natural biofilms from aquariums, Tetra Research was able to identify the bacteria of the Nitrospira strain as the predominant representative of the nitrite-reducing bacteria. The ammonia, which is also very harmful to the fish, is broken down by bacteria of the genera Nitrospira and Nitrosomonas. The latest discoveries in microbiology ultimately led to SafeStart's product development. Optimal conditions for the settlement of these important bacteria are achieved with Tetra Bactozyme. It covers all surfaces with a bacteria-promoting biofilm on which nitrifying bacteria can develop. Tetra Biocoryn complements these products. I added your con. Did you determine this is what caused your cloudiness issue? Were you using the original bag it came in?

Why are nitrate levels important?

SeachemMatrix – High Capacity Biofiltration, States it controls ammonia, nitrite, andnitrate, but I have only really had concerns with nitrate, so can't speak to the others. Matrix™ is a high porosity biomedia that provides efficient biofiltration for the removal ofnitrogenous waste. Matrix™ is a porous inorganic solid about 10 mm in diameter (a little larger than standard aquariumgravel). From what I can tell, itbasically provides a living space for the BB that would eat up nitrate. Tetra NitrateMinus Pearls for the permanent reduction of nitrate content when setting up a new aquarium. It removes an important algae nutrient, leading to a long-term improvement of the water quality, reducing care requirements.
