Seapora Nitrate + Nitrite Pad
The Seapora Nitrate + Nitrite Pad is a dense chemical filter pad that neutralizes nitrate and toxic nitrite in freshwater aquariums. It reduces the possibility of nitrite poisoning and helps reduce fish stress caused by the presence of nitrite. Nitrates can cause kidney, liver, and eye problems in fish, as well as appetite suppression.
This media should be used as a preventative measure or treatment, and not as a remedy for persistently high nitrate and nitrite concentrations. It is not a viable substitute for regularly scheduled aquarium maintenance. Use a test kit to check nitrate and nitrite levels regularly.
Seapora Filter Pads can be cut and shaped to fit any filtration system, including: Canister Filters, Hang-On Filters, Trick Filters.

I used this pad after noticing rising nitrite levels in my community tank. It worked well to reduce nitrite within a week. My fish showed less stress and ate more regularly. I still test water weekly, but the pad helps keep things stable.

The pad fits well in my hang-on filter. I cut it to size and placed it in the filter inlet. Nitrate levels dropped noticeably after two weeks. It’s a simple solution for occasional spikes in nitrite.

Great product for preventing nitrite buildup. I use it monthly as a preventative. My fish haven’t shown any signs of stress, and water tests show consistent improvement.
