Bio Denitrator is a powdered bacterial preparation that works in both freshwater and marine aquariums. Our blend contains over twenty strains of bacteria that do different tasks from nitrate removal, to breaking down proteins. Bio Denitrator is also a very effective sludge remover. Bio Denitrator works hand in hand with Bio Booster to rapidly complete colonization of the bacterial bed in freshwater and marine systems.

   Bio Denitrator completes the nitrogen cycle by turning nitrate into gas which is released into the atmosphere. The anaerobes and facultative anaerobes in Bio Denitrator complete this task naturally. In addition to removing nitrate, Bio Denitrator helps remove organic and inorganic phosphate. Bio Denitrator controls the build up of proteins, fats, detritus, and other unwanted organic matter. Furthermore, Bio Denitrator indirectly controls micro algae and cyanobacteria by eliminating excess nutrients from system water. Bio Denitrator correspondingly breaks down many heavy metals which are toxic in closed systems. We recommend the use of Bio Denitrator at system start up. This allows the bacteria to colonize and establish themselves in the system. This practice prevents nitrate levels from becoming toxic to both system bacteria and fish.
