1. Maxspect Nano-Tech Clear Cube
The Nano-Tech Clear Cube is an innovative tourmaline-based water clarifier.
- How it works: It does not rely on absorption (like activated carbon). Instead, it dissociates and ionizes water molecules, electrostatically breaking down Dissolved Organic Matter (DOM).
- Benefits: Effectively removes yellowish tint, combats cyanobacteria and harmful fungi, and increases dissolved oxygen levels.
- Longevity: Provides a long-lasting effect in maintaining crystal-clear water without saturating rapidly.
2. Maxspect Nano-Tech Anaerobic Block
This Anaerobic Block is an ultra-porous ceramic media designed specifically to eliminate nitrates (NO3).
- How it works: Made from inert micro-spheres that create intricate water flow channels. The deep interior of the block develops anoxic (oxygen-depleted) zones, the perfect environment for anaerobic heterotrophic denitrifying bacteria to colonize.
- Benefits: Completes the nitrogen cycle by converting harmful nitrates directly into harmless nitrogen gas, which safely evaporates from the aquarium.
3. Denitrification Catalyst
The Denitrification Catalyst is the organic fuel used directly in conjunction with the Anaerobic Block.
- How it works: It is a slow-release carbon source plug inserted into the center of the Anaerobic Blocks. It serves as a specific food source to stimulate, feed, and accelerate the growth of denitrifying bacterial colonies.
- Maintenance: It is slowly consumed by the bacteria and should be replaced every 2 months to ensure maximum efficiency in nitrate reduction
