LR Nitrate Remover™ is designed for aquariums that have 15ppm or lower nitrate.
It is formulated specifically to reduce nitrate without promoting the nuisance bio-bacteria slime within marine/reef environments and works by providing bio-available carbon sources to denitrifying bacteria present in media, deep sand beds & inner pores of live rock.
The bacteria oxidise the carbon into carbon dioxide while reducing nitrate to chemically inert nitrogen gas. I
f you are experiencing nitrate levels higher than 15ppm, we recommend using our HR Nitrate Remover™ then making the switch to LR Nitrate Remover™ once nitrate becomes 15ppm or lower.
– Deionised water
– Bioavailable Carbon Sources
– Maximum 15ppm nitrate
– dKH 7+

Shaking is not required, however, if product has been left standing for a length of time invert bottle 3-4 times before using.
This product must be used in saltwater aquariums with a protein skimmer. Add product to high water flow. Do not overdose.
0.1-10ppm = 0.1 – 0.5ml per day/100l
1.0-5.0ppm = 0.5-1.0ml per day/100l
5.0-10ppm = 1.0-2.0mlml per day/100l
10-15ppm = 2.0-3.0ml per day/100l

This white slime can be because of a few things the 2 main reasons are that the product is simply being overdosed. Or there is not enough bacteria in the system i.e. not enough denitrifying media for the nitrate remover to work so it is feeding other bacteria instead.
1. There could be a few reasons why nitrate remover may not be working. Nitrate remover works by feeding and denitrifying bacteria in turn reducing your nitrate. If you have insufficient media in an Anaerobic environment (Low Oxygen, Low Flow) then the nitrate remover will not have enough bacteria to use. This can be remedied by simply adding more media in the form of spheres or blocks, both work in this situation given the time for bacteria to grow in them. (Quantum Nitrate remover will speed up the growth process for this bacterium.) So, carry on daily dosing.
2. Check the level via a different test kit to the one you are currently using. Some test kits can be inaccurate or become faulty due to moisture in the reagents over time.
3. The bacteria that is used to remove nitrate needs phosphate to consume nitrate. So, if your phosphate level is low you will need to let your phosphate rise a little and then start bringing the phosphate back down to desired levels when the nitrate level starts to fall.
This can depend on multiple factors, some which are explained below. However, Nitrate remover usually works in 1-2 weeks to reach desired levels but it can take longer.
Yes. Yes you can! These products along with the rest of range have been designed to be able to work hand in hand with each other.
