Deep blue Nitrate pad

How long would you leave in or often to clean and or change out. First time using one so not sure if I should clean them and reuse or change them out everytime with a new one

Imo they are a waste of$ I have never had any luck with nitrate or phos or ammonia pads. If your filtration is enough there not needed. Let me know if I can help in anyway

for some chemical reason, i think nitrate pads only work in fresh water tanks. salt seems to inhibit them. or PH. othewise they are lower density media. lower capacity. but easy to put in a flow path if you want to.

Thanks much was hesitant to try at first as well. I do like how dense they are and don’t really allow anything other then water through.
