There are a lot of aquarium products on the market, and while most of them will work perfectly fine together in the aquarium, some will not. Biomedia such as de*nitrate™ typically do not interact with any kinds of products that are suitable to use in aquaria, and we would say there is no such thing as an overdose of biomedia (as long as the biomedia is not taking up space that is needed for other types of media). That said, we can't 100% guarantee any product that's not our own, but here's a few quick rules:
- Don't mix products in the reactor. de*nitrate™ is fairly unique in that it does not need to be replaced or regenerated, and will typically work best if it is left undisturbed for as long as possible. On the other hand, chemical media that is used in reactors typically needs to be replaced or regenerated every few weeks or even more often. de*nitrate™ works best if it is the only media used in the reactor other than a sponge filter.
- Research the products you use carefully. Most products are perfectly fine to use with biological filtration, and you should be very wary of any product that says to remove your biological media before using (this hypothetical product will almost certainly harm your nitrogen cycle if used). However, some products will work at cross-purposes with a biomedia designed specifically to remove nitrate. For example, if you are dosing a product intended to supplement additional nitrate to feed your plants, you should not simultaneously use de*nitrate™, which will remove this supplement.
Seachem® Products
It is perfectly fine to use de*nitrate alongside all Seachem® products, but de*nitrate™ will consume and remove all forms of nitrate, even the forms present in nitrogen supplements. If you are having trouble maintaining ideal nitrate levels in a planted tank, we would recommend holding off on de*nitrate™.
de*nitrate™ Compatibility Charts
Green: There is no interaction between this product and de*nitrate™
Blue: While de*nitrate™ may be able to absorb components of this product under laboratory conditions, there is typically no impact on the product or the de*nitrate™ under aquarium conditions. It is considered perfectly fine to use these products together.
Red: de*nitrate™ will directly absorb components of this product, and they should not be used together.
Black: There are no circumstances under which it would be recommended to use these products together in the same tank, so even though they do not interact, it is not recommended to use them together.
