anyone try one? seems like it could be a scam BUT is there any way a filter can COMPLETELY take out Nitrates? This is was this company is claiming its filters do and i quote
"The Aquaripure filter is a comprehensive biological filter which will completely process all organic matter and remove all nitrates in an Aquarium. These filters are known as a nitrate filter, nitrate reactor, denitrator, biodenitrator or nitrate removal filter. Other biological filters only convert organic matter into nitrates which then accumulate in the aquarium, physical filters only remove larger particulate matter, and skimmers do not remove any nitrates. The Aquaripure uses beneficial bacteria to break down invisible organic matter and nitrates completely into Nitrogen gas which then escapes into the atmosphere. This same process is even used by some water treatment plants to make wastewater safe for human consumption and to clean polluted water. The Aquaripure does this in an extremely safe and controlled environment and after the water from the Aquaripure is aerated there is nothing left but pure, clean, crystal clear water."
Directly from product description. I dont know what to think about this!!!! If its true i may have to get one and just reduce WC to once a every couple weeks instead of twice a week IF testing proves their claims. It is a canister BTW. Quite large too, the smallest one that is only for up to 20 gallon is 4.5" x 6.5" x 12". The site also suggests you could use it to purify your own drinking water. Im not trying to advertise these people, i just would like to know if its legit haha
