Tetra Nitrateminus Liquid, 250 ml

Product Information

Takes up alarge amount of filter space. I have itand my main filter media in my TopFin and Quiet Flow 10s, and basically almostno room for anything else. My favorite so far is for Matrix for ease of use and the natural way it works and does not need to be replaced.

If a product fails during the first 6 months, Aquatix-2u Ltd will cover the return costs. After 6 months the cost of returning the product will lie with the customer, as per the Consumer Rights Act 2015. 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. Items that are perishable also cannot be returned. This includes, fish food, pond and aquarium treatments etc, if the seals have been broken. 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.

Final Comments

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. Liability will not be accepted for any items returned due to damage, accident, neglect, improper installation or use.

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. Tetra Nitrate Minus can be used for the long-term reduction and control of nitrate, leading to better water quality and less algae. 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.

Please be aware, it is possible we may deliver the Goods in advance of any estimated delivery date.

Items returned that are not deemed to be faulty or the fault is not covered under the guarantee will be subject to return postage costs.Should you wish for the delivery to be made by instalments a further agreed carriage charge will be applicable. Slower to see an impact than other nitrate reducers. Takes a couple weeks to start seeing an impact.
