I think its something similar to biohome. Its a biological filter media that encourages both nitrifying and dentrifying bacteria to grow.
Basically the pores create both aerobic and anaerobic zones, thus allowing both nitrifying and dentrifying bacteria to grow. I have my doubts about how effective they are in removing nitrates, since the amount of anaerobic zones is likely to be less than aerobic zones and can be affected by overall flowrate.

IMHO BioHome Plus (Red color) is the best biological media in terms of performance and must admit that it is expensive as compared to other media in the market.
Been using this 5 years ago in my Koi pond and never regret it. That's why I am using them for all my tanks (tropical and marine). Seachem De-nitrate is effective for new tank setups when NO3 is near zero but if the NO3 is above 50ppm, it will takes a damn long to reduce the NO3 if there are no partial water changes. Currently, my outside 6ft tank is using this media in the sump and will transfer them to a FR with a slower flowrate to yield better efficiency from the media. |
