Our take on the Seachem de*nitrate Fish & Aquatic Filtration Media

Seachem de*nitrate is a porous biological filter medium that supports both aerobic nitrification and anaerobic denitrification in freshwater and saltwater aquariums. Its pore structure is sized for anaerobic bacteria, so it can lower nitrate in drip trays, canister filters, sumps and box filters without the hydrogen sulfide risk of some sulfur-based denitrators. It works best with slow flow, under about 200 L per hour, and each 500 mL treats roughly 100–200 L depending on bioload. It suits hobbyists fighting rising nitrate who can control flow through the media; those with high flow should look at Seachem Matrix or Pond Matrix instead.

Best forHobbyists with nitrate that keeps climbing between water changesCanister filter, sump and drip tray setups with slow, steady flowReef and planted tanks where nitrate control mattersAquarists who want a biological rather than chemical nitrate fix
Pros
  • Supports both nitrification and anaerobic denitrification
  • Pore size aimed at anaerobic bacteria
  • No hydrogen sulfide production risk
  • Works in canisters, sumps, drip trays and box filters
  • Long-lasting: stays active while nitrate stays controlled
Cons
  • Needs slow flow, under about 200 L per hour
  • High flow setups must switch to Matrix or Pond Matrix
  • High starting nitrate should be lowered with water changes first
  • Dust needs rinsing before use
  • Nitrate falls only after several days, not instantly

About the Seachem de*nitrate Fish & Aquatic Filtration Media

It promotes both aerobic nitrification and anaerobic denitrification. Its pore size suits anaerobic bacteria, so it works as a biological filter and does not produce hydrogen sulfide.

It can be used in drip trays, canister filters, sumps, and box filters. Place it so water flows through it, such as in a canister filter, chemical filtration module, or box filter. Rinse off dust before use. Keep the flow rate at or below 200 L (50 US gallons) per hour. If higher flow rates are unavoidable, use Matrix or Pond Matrix instead.

After several days in use, nitrate concentrations should start to fall. They level off gradually at about 4 to 5 mg/L as nitrate. The media is not exhausted as long as nitrate stays under control. If initial nitrate is very high, bring it below 20 mg/L with water changes first. Use enough media to remove nitrate at least as fast as it forms.

Questions and answers

How much de*nitrate do I need for my tank?
Each 500 mL treats about 100–200 L (25–50 US gallons), depending on starting nitrate and bioload. Use enough to remove nitrate at least as fast as it forms.
Will it work in a high-flow filter?
Flow through the media should not exceed about 200 L (50 US gallons) per hour. If your filter runs faster, Seachem recommends Matrix or Pond Matrix instead.
Does it produce hydrogen sulfide?
No. Seachem states de*nitrate poses no danger of hydrogen sulfide production, unlike some sulfur-based nitrate removers.
How long until nitrate drops?
After several days in use, nitrate should start to fall and level off around 4–5 mg/L as nitrate. If nitrate is very high at the start, bring it below 20 mg/L with water changes first.
How do I set it up?
Rinse off dust, then place it where water flows through it, such as a canister filter, chemical filtration module or box filter. Keep the flow slow.
When do I replace it?
As long as nitrate stays under control, the media is not exhausted. Replace it when nitrate begins rising again despite adequate flow and bioload.
