Waste Control - Rapid nitrate decrease
I have seen a rapid decrease in nitrate with Waste Control. Is this possible?
I have seen a rapid decrease in nitrate with Waste Control. Is this possible?
Waste Control contains bacteria capable of converting both nitrite and nitrate to nitrogen gas. Anoxic conditions and a source of organic carbon are required for this to occur. Aquaria with sludge deposits have anoxic zones, and carbon is available from the sludge. So nitrate could possibly be removed when Waste Control is added, depending on the actual aquarium conditions. No matter what, thugh, the overall habitat will be improved as wastes are reduced to their lowest components by the bacterial team.
