Reduce nitrate concentration in seawater aquariums
Sealutions Sulphur beads are intended for use in sulphur-nitrate filters. There they serve simultaneously as a colonisation substrate and food source for sulphur bacteria(Thiobacillus denitrificans). These so-called heteroautotrophic bacteria utilise the energy they gain from the oxidation of elemental sulphur by nitrate to build up organic substances from CO2 and water, just like plants. Nitrate is reduced to elemental gaseous nitrogen, which oxidises sulphur to unproblematic sulphate. However, as acid is produced during this process, the pH value and carbonate hardness must be checked regularly. We therefore recommend adding a filter container with calcium carbonate granulate directly downstream of the nitrate filter.
The sulphur is consumed by the bacterial activity depending on the amount of nitrate removed and must therefore be topped up regularly.
Only for use in slow-running anaerobic filters for nitrate degradation. Please follow the filter manufacturer's instructions for use.
Suitable for freshwater and mainly seawater. Made from 99.9 % pure sulphur. Hardly any tendency to clog the filling due to the large format of the sulphur beads of 2 - 8 mm. 1.2 kg corresponds to approx. 1.0 litre of sulphur granules.
