NitrexBox?

[dr_girlfriend]

I was cruising through drsfosterandsmiths and came across this product. Has anyone ever used it?

I never heard of that brand, but this is supposed to be good.

Thats for aerobic bacteria, the nitrex is for anaerobic bacteria to eliminate nitrate; supposedly.

Nitrate reduction media is not new.. Nitrex has been around for as long as I can remember. I never tried it back then
because of the extra plumbing if I remember right, it has a separate box.. Cell-Pore being newer and is carried by
one of the big boys now Kent Marine! That puts a little more credibility to a product in my mind.. not to mention
people on this board have used it with success, depending on the application...

There was a discussion in the sw forum about denitraters. There is a link on how to make one yourself. http://www.aquariumadvice.com/viewtopic.php?t=55132&highlight=diy+nitrates

Algal Turf Scrubbers remove more then NO3... the remove dissolved proteins and those other bad nastys like
heavy metals and PO4 among other things! LOL!
Im doing some research into ATS with the help from a member of aquaria central (I pmed him over there to see
if he would help me do the research) the link to it is near the end of the above mentioned link..

Yeah, I know nitrate reducers have been around. They usually involve having to build some contraption or a bunch of plumbing crap I have no intrest in doing.

This caught my eye because of the box, and its really cheap. I was just wondering if anyone had used it, any pros cons.
