- Nitrates are best brought down initially with large water changes.
- Nitrate Sponge slowly adsorbs small amounts of ammonia that are released by fish and natural processes.
- Fosters anaerobic bacterial denitrification due to its physical porous structure.
- This denitrification slowly reduces nitrate levels in the aquarium.
- Place Nitrate Sponge in a large mesh (800 micron) bag on top of your wet-dry filter or in a canister filter, where water will flow through the material.
- Each treatment of Nitrate Sponge will reduce nitrates by about 20 ppm (total nitrates) for the stated size.
- Please Note: Not overfeeding the tank, good maintenance practices, regularly vacuuming of detritus, regular use of carbon, and regular changing of filter floss are critical to nitrate control.
- If you continue to have nitrate problems re-evaluate the amount fish in your aquarium and consider upgrading your filter system.
