NITRATE MINUS
Reduces Nitrate for 12 months

• : Improves Water Quality
• : Helps Control Algae
• : Easy to use

• NitrateMinus keeps nitrate levels in your aquarium low for 12 months. It improves the water quality long-term and helps control algae, thus reducing additional maintenance work and helping to keep your aquarium in top condition
• NitrateMinus consists of granules that remove nitrate in a natural, biological process. During this process, micro-organisms slowly decompose the granules of NitrateMinus by using nitrate as their oxygen source. This way, nitrate is irreversibly removed
• As nitrate, one of the major nutrients of algae, is removed, algae growth is also reduced
• NitrateMinus has a stabilising effect on KH and pH - if used with existing high levels of nitrate or other products that stabilise carbonate hardness, KH levels may increase

Directions for use
• Simply add 8 grams of NitrateMinus for every 10 litres of aquarium water.
• Mix NitrateMinus with gravel. Make sure granules are spread evenly and covered by gravel
• repeat dose every 12 months

Thinking it might be worth trying it to control algae???

LOL I know I don't like to mess with the natural balance but I've been beating back Green Hair algae now for a long time. its getting to this point.. that I'm researching on these things.

What is the best way to reduce NitrAtes? and keep them low down, is it just regular water changes, cleaning of filters/ gravel or is there more i can do?
