Description:
Kent Marine Nitrate Sponge is a granular zeolitic medium which works by two methods.
1. It slowly directly adsorbs small amounts of ammonia that are released by fish and natural processes and
2. it fosters anaerobic bacterial denitrification due to its physical porous structure. This denitrification slowly reduces nitrate levels in the aquarium. It works well in freshwater tanks or tap water to remove toxic ammonia directly! Nitrate Sponge prolongs the time allowed between water changes by keeping nitrates low!
Directions:
Place Nitrate Sponge in a large mesh (800 micron) bag on top of your wet-dry filter or in a canister filter where water will flow through the material. It can be used as an excellent media in de-nitrators and other slow-flow applications and is more efficient in this type usage (see below). Test nitrates regularly. Several weeks will be required to see an appreciable drop in nitrates. (Caution: nitrate testing is the most difficult of all aquarium tests and many aquarium test kits are inaccurate for marine systems. We recommend that you use the SeaTestTM or FasTestTM test kit by Aquarium Systems for accurate results!)

Kent Marine Phosphate Sponge
Kent Marine Phosphate Sponge Filter Media is not an algaecide, but a ceramic medium which
will adsorb phosphates quickly (within hours) when placed directly in the water flow.
Works in fresh and saltwater aquariums or ponds to bring about 1.0 ppm of phosphate or
silicates down to less than .05 ppm in a 120 gallon tank for every dry quart of medium.
For silicate to be removed, phosphates must first be removed. Beads are cracked to expose
more surface area and increase efficiency! This product will not release soluble aluminum
compounds into your aquarium, causing negative reactions from your inverts, as competing
products may. Will also absorb moisture for use as an air dryer for ozone, and can be
renewed over and over in moisture removal service!

Kent Marine Reef Carbon
Kent Marine Reef Carbon Filter Media removes organic pollutants, stains, and entrained toxic gases in marine and freshwater aquariums or ponds. Contains the finest pelletized activated bituminous coal based carbon. Pore size is in the 20 to 2,000 Angstrom range, ideally suited for removal of large organic molecules. Super activated with very high iodine and molasses numbers. Less than .2% ash making it suitable for sensitive species such as discus. Will not leach phosphates or promote undesirable algae growth, suited to sensitive reef systems! Engineered for water flow, will not clog easily like small granular or pelleted carbons. Outperforms any carbon especially coconut shell!
