JAD Nitrate Processor And Filter XQ-300


The XQ-300 Nitrate processor / removal system is an ideal solution for aiding in the removal / reduction of nitrates within your marine fish tank. The XQ-300 & XQ-500's 120 litres per hour motors draw water into the chamber and once full, circulates the water within the filter. Circulating the same water in the chamber causing it to become anaerobic - where anaerobic microbial populations — organisms that live in the absence of oxygen — can establish themselves. Anaerobic bacteria helps reduce the nitrates present in your tank because they gain their oxygen by reducing nitrate molecules and taking the oxygen atom from the nitrate molecule for respiration. After a short period of time the water is dripped back into the fish tank (ideally in a high flow area).
