JBL Bio Nitrat Ex Special Filter Material

undefined

JBL BioNitratEX Solves algae problems by removing nitrite and phosphate in aquariums Contains 240 g per 1 L for 200 L * Removes algae in fresh water using the main ent nitrate * Only works using bacteria that break down nitrates without additions or replacement products. * No need to feed the bacteria since food was incorporated into the substrate * Can also be used in seawater in combination with JBL Carbomec Ultra JBL BioNitratEX: biological nitrate removal. Removes waste and avoids algae problems in fresh water * Special filter material for removing nitrates using micro-organisms * Innovative material structure with embedded bacteria food helps denitrifying bacteria to settle * Simply put the mesh bag in the existing filter * No extra food for micro-organisms and complicated controls necessary * Optimum water flow is regulated by the material itself * No enrichment of chloride like with conventional ion exchangers The degradation or mineralising process of all materials in the aquarium (feeder and remains, fish excretion) takes place in the following order: protein > ammonium > nitrite > nitrate. Certain bacteria which are above all located in the filter and base of the aquarium are responsible for this process. Nitrate in relatively high concentrations is not hazardous to fish. The bacterial conversion of the waste in the aquarium to nitrate is practically the life insurance for fish, since poisonous bi-products are not enriched using well-made filters. However, since high nitrate content promotes growth of undesired algae, you should to not let the nitrate content in the aquarium water get above approx. 50 mg/l. Until now, regularly partially changing the water has been the most practised method of reducing the nitrate content. In addition, you can also use ion-exchange resins and so-called nitrate filters which work biologically.
