Has anyone else used this product. I just did seems to work well. Lowerwed nitrates fine, was just wodering if anyone else uses it or any bad experiaences. Guess I should have asked about that one before i used it huh? Though no problems using it here.

i used it once but it don't last long and I couldn't get it to recharge. so I never used it again, and just found the source of the prob. to defeat the nitrates

what was the source, to me the source never goes away, fish, food, and poop.
My nitrates are usuaally low anyway, under 25, not they are 5

my rocks were leaching it. as the previous owner always had very high nitrates. so i used AZN03 and that basically cleared it up and took it out of the rocks. now after 5 monthes of doing only water changes like usual i have never had more than 5ppm of nitrates i used to always have 40ppm or more. even after a 100% water change

i am using nitratelock on my NC 12.
it took th nitrates from 20 to 10 in 48 hours, after 5 days it was at 5... I need to test it again to see where I am at.

i also used AZNO3, which worked well. it brought my 55g from 40 nitrates down to <5 in a month... you need a good ps for that though, so it wasn't an option on my NC.

what is AZN03, and what does it mean to have a good PS?
Sorry that is new to me or i dont know the abbreaviations
