API NITRA-ZORB Pouch filtration media is a ready-to-use pouch that can be added to your filter to remove ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate.

When nitrate is detected:

recharge every 5 days until nitrate is reduced to 20ppm (mg/L) or less.

FAQs:

What are the dimensions of API NITRA-ZORB™ filtration media bags?
The actual pouch is 7 x 7 inches square, but because of the media, the final dimensions are 7 x 6.5 inches.

You will find that the pouch sits nicely in one of the baskets of canister filters. All of the size 6 pouches (PHOS-ZORB™ filtration media, NITRA-ZORB filtration media, BIO-CHEM ZORB™ filtration media, ACTIVATED CARBON, etc.) will be this size.

This pouch does not have any stiffness to it, and may easily be placed in the back of a hang-on-back filter, or other sizes of a canister filter. If the filter is very small, cut open the pouch and use as much as needed in a small filter sock.

Does API NITRA-ZORB™ filtration media replace other media?
API NITRA-ZORB filtration media should not fully replace other media; it is for temporary use only.

How is this product different from API BIO-CHEM ZORB™ filtration media, API PHOS-ZORB™ filtration media, etc.? What makes one a good choice over the other?
API NITRA-ZORB filtration media specifically works to target and remove ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates from your aquarium. All of these are harmful at high levels for your fish.

Use API NITRA-ZORB filtration media if these levels consistently spike.

Use API BIO-CHEM ZORB filtration media works to remove more general aquarium pollutants, such as colors, odors, heavy metals, and toxic gases.

API PHOS-ZORB filtration media specifically targets phosphate and silicate in aquarium water.
