Deltec NFP1020 Nitrate Filter Reactor for Large Aquariums

The Deltec NFP1020 Nitrate Filter is a high-performance biological reactor designed to efficiently and reliably reduce nitrate levels in large marine and freshwater aquariums. Developed in collaboration with renowned reef expert David Saxby, this advanced nitrate filter overcomes common issues found in traditional nitrate reactors by offering controlled, stable, and effective nitrate reduction.

Using an alcohol-fed bacterial system, the NFP1020 supports multiple feeding methods including syringe dosing, osmotic membrane bags, or an optional precision peristaltic pump. The reactor can operate under pressure, allowing flexible installation even in cabinets below the aquarium when no sump is available. Its intelligent internal recirculation system ensures even distribution of nutrients to nitrate-consuming bacteria, resulting in consistent long-term performance.

Built with ease of use and maintenance in mind, the NFP1020 features a fully removable lid, large-bore outlets to prevent blockages, and specialist media that resists clogging from bacterial buildup—making it an ideal solution for heavily stocked systems.
