Betapet Nitrapore 1 Litre Nitrate Reducing Resin

Betapet Nitrapore is a macroporous nitrate removal resin designed specifically at reducing nitrites and nitrates in your aquarium.

Nitrates are produced from:

• Filtration breaking down ammonia to nitrite to nitrate
• Waste from fish
• Overfeeding and the breaking down of food products
• Detritus and waste in rock, substrate and filter hoses
• Dirt and buildup

Build up of nitrates results in:

• More water changes to reduce nitrate levels
• Increase of stress on fish
• Reduced growth, especially in young juvenile and fry fish
• Inhibited ability to reproduce
• Poor water quality
• Increased risk of disease
• Increase of algae with increased nutrients
• Reduced oxygen levels

Betapet Nitrapore is the best way to remove nitrates that we have come across. While Macropore is great as a broad-based product and does a wonderful job of water polishing, removing organics and reducing nitrates, Nitrapore is more specific and extremely effective, doing a better job of handling elevated levels of nitrates and keeping them low for longer.

Nitrates have always been an issue for the hobby and for fishkeepers, and now there is a cost-effective way of keeping them down.

Benefits:

• Removes nitrates (via removing nitrogenous waste)
• Removes nitrites (via removing nitrogenous waste)
• Rechargeable
• Reduces the need for water changes

Nitrapore is best used as a filter media in your aquarium, fish tank or pond. By removing nitrates and nitrites it improves the environment, which will improve growth, colour and overall health of your fish, and it reduces the need for water changes, giving you more time to enjoy your aquarium and saving water.

You will still need to do water changes, just not as regularly. Or you can continue with regular water changes, which will improve the environment even more.

Nitrapore will raise the Redox potential without affecting the beneficial trace element levels in your aquarium.

Can be recharged with an 8-10% salt solution in freshwater.

• Rinse before placing the media in a fine mesh filter media bag (sold separately)
• When levels of nitrates increase it is time to recharge
• Recharging usually takes 24 hours

When using in a canister filter, to save having to put back the Nitrapore after recharging, consider getting two lots and cycling them to make it easier.

• Rinse first
• Put Nitrapore resin in a very fine mesh bag loosely to allow water to flow through it
• Place in a filter or area with good water flow
• Can be used in reactors and sumped systems

• Recharge by dissolving 2 handfuls of non-iodised salt into 1 litre of water in a plastic container
• Leave to sit in the bag for 12 hours
• Rinse before use
