Is Nitra Zorb safe for fish?
Use it in freshwater conditions to keep conditions safe and healthy. Features: Removes toxins that can be harmful to fish and lead to algae growth. Removes ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate from aquarium water.
What does Nitra Zorb do?
NITRA-ZORB is made of natural and synthetic ion-exchange resins that selectively remove toxins from freshwater aquariums. Helps establish new aquariums by controlling the levels of ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate. Also for use in established aquariums whenever these compounds are detected.
How to use nitrasorb?
To recharge, dissolve 4 tablespoons (80 g) of API AQUARIUM SALT in 8 oz. (240 ml) of warm tap water. Soak pouch for 2 hours, then rinse lightly in tap water. When not in use, store pouch in recharging solution.
How do I lower nitrates in my fish tank?
Water changes: Performing regular water changes with water that has little or no nitrate will lower the overall nitrate level in the aquarium. If your local tap or well water is high in nitrate, using deionized water (DI) or reverse osmosis water (RO) can help keep nitrate levels low when doing a water change.
How do you use Phos Zorb?
Rinse pouch under tap water for several minutes to remove dust and activate PHOS-ZORB. Place pouch in path of water flow in the aquarium filter. Replace the pouch every 2 months or when testing indicates the presence of phosphate or silicate.
What is the fastest way to lower nitrites in a freshwater aquarium?
How do you reduce nitrite levels?
- Water change! A 30-50% water change should be the first thing you do after confirming a nitrite spike. What is this?
- Add cycled filters. As I touched on earlier, bacteria turn nitrites into much less harmful nitrates.
- Water conditioner. This is essentially a nitrite remover in a bottle.
How fast does Nitra Zorb work?
A 3.7 oz (105 g) pouch of Nitra-Zorb in a 20 U.S. gallon (75.6 L) aquarium will remove 5.0 ppm ammonia, 1.0 ppm nitrite, and 20 ppm nitrate in 24-48 hours. If the aquarium is overstocked or fed heavily, the build-up of ammonia, nitrite and nitrate may occur as fast it can be removed by Nitra-Zorb.
What removes nitrate from water?
Nitrate may be successfully removed from water using treatment processes such as ion exchange, distillation, and reverse osmosis. Contact your local health department for recommended procedures. Heating or boiling your water will not remove nitrate.
