Tetra NitrateMinus is used to permanently reduce the nitrate content and biocide-free algae control in fresh and saltwater aquariums. 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. long-term reduction of the nitrate level to below 40 to 50 mg/l (depending on the aquarium conditions) Aquatix 2u Ltd reserve the right to make a deduction to the value of the goods being returned. If the goods have been handled more than necessary and therefore not returned to us in the same condition that they were sent out.

Tetra NitrateMinus is used for the permanent reduction of the nitrate content and the biocide-free algae control in liquid form. Tetra NitrateMinus serves the purely biological nitrate reduction and thus a long-term improvement in water quality. Algae growth is significantly restricted because the main food source is removed from the algae. Depending on the aquarium conditions, a permanent reduction in nitrate under 40-50 mg / l aquarium water is achieved. Thanks to its liquid form, Tetra NitrateMinus is easier to dose and easier to add.

What should I do if nitrates in my tank are too high?

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. Please be aware, it is possible we may deliver the Goods in advance of any estimated delivery date. Should you wish for the delivery to be made by instalments a further agreed carriage charge will be applicable.

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. Damaged on arrival? Should any damage be identified upon or before opening the parcel(s) you should notify us within 24 hours of delivery and advise the exact damage. Slower to see an impact than other nitrate reducers. Takes a couple weeks to start seeing an impact.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 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. 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. 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.

Liability will not be accepted for any items returned due to damage, accident, neglect, improper installation or use. 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. 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. Any personalised items or items made to your specification cannot be returned, e.g. off the roll pond liners, cut to length pond hose.

Reducing Nitrates in the tank itself

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.Also, if you have tried other products that I don't talk about here, please feel free to post your thoughts on those as well. My favorite so far is for Matrix for ease of use and the natural way it works and does not need to be replaced. Bithimala yes I have used all with inverts. I have 3 nerites and few ghost shrimp in my tank (and hundreds of MTS). In my other small tank I have a betta and fry, none of these products should be harmful to any aquatic life.
