Aqua Medic Nitrate Reductor Nr 1000

Nitratreductor NR 1000

Denitrification filter for aquariums up to 1000 litres (c. 250 gallons)

The Nitratreductor is an anaerobic biological reactor for removing nitrates from marine and freshwater aquaria. It has a 10 l (c. 4.5 gals) volume and an internal circulation pump. The Nitratereductor works with a flow rate of 1 to 4 l/hr (c. 0.25 to 1 gph). In the absence of oxygen this situation promotes bacteria that metabolize nitrate. Denimar powder or Deniballs are used as an organic energy source. The Nitratereductor is a closed unit that can be integrated into filter systems, but may also be installed to stand alone under the aquarium. To monitor this process, it is possible to use a redox potential controller (ORP controller) in conjunction with an electrode inserted in the inbuilt PG13.5 port or the SP 3000 Dosing Pump (supplied) can be connected for a fully controlled system.

Dimensions excluding electrode (l x w x h): 17 x 17 x 54 cm (c. 7” x 7” x 22”)
Accessories: Denimar powder and Deniballs to feed the anaerobic bacteria
Aqua Medic mV Controller or Aqua Medic mV Computer c/w pressure resistant mV (Redox or ORP) probe with PG13.5 threaded connection.
