Review on Brightwell Aquatics Nitrat-R: Ultimate Nitrate Removing Resin Filter Media for Marine Environments by Christine Zuniga

Revainrating 1 out of 5

It didn't work - not even a little bit!

I bought this product because in a mixed reef aquarium I had consistently high nitrate levels (40-50) with good phosphorus levels along with poor coral growth/color and all with others Parameters verified (confirmed by Triton mail included). I put 500ml of resin in a filter bag in my sump in the relatively high flow zone. Over the next 3 weeks the lowest nitrate I got (along with the protein deprivation and NoPox dosage from RedSea) was 36! So unfortunately it just doesn't work. Anyone have any ideas on how to lower my nitrate levels?

Pros
  • Does not need to be soaked in buffered water before use
Cons
  • Negative result exists
