API Nitra Zorb filtration media

API Nitra-Zorb Aquarium Filter Media – Removes Ammonia, Nitrite & Nitrate from Freshwater Aquariums

Left uncorrected, high nitrate in aquarium water can lead to invisible water problems, poor fish health, and a build-up of organic pollutants, so it’s recommended to test your water weekly. API Nitra-Zorb is a filtration media in a convenient pouch that removes harmful toxins, including ammonia, nitrate and nitrite, from freshwater aquariums.

API Nitra-Zorb reduces the risk of fish loss when starting or maintaining an aquarium and fits most canister filters on the market. The pouch can be reused after recharging in a salt solution, making it a cost-effective addition to your filtration routine.
