About this deal

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. 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. 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. 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.

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. Tetra NitrateMinus is used to permanently reduce the nitrate content and biocide-free algae control in fresh and saltwater aquariums. Liability will not be accepted for any items returned due to damage, accident, neglect, improper installation or use.

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

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.These following two are purely aesthetic and do not interfere with the way it works.

If the goods have been handled more than necessary and therefore not returned to us in the same condition that they were sent out. The extent to which you handle goods is the same as it would be if you were assessing them in a shop. 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.

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.

long-term reduction of the nitrate level to below 40 to 50 mg/l (depending on the aquarium conditions)SeachemMatrix – High Capacity Biofiltration, States it controls ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate, but I have only really had concerns with nitrate, so can't speak to the others. 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. Items that are perishable also cannot be returned. This includes, fish food, pond and aquarium treatments etc, if the seals have been broken. Should you wish for the delivery to be made by instalments a further agreed carriage charge will be applicable.
