Sulphur Denitrators

[sirjustis]

from what i have read, im looking for an increase in nitrates coming from the effluent before i increase the output, or dps. is this accurate?

No, the output of the denitrator should read lower than the tank water generally - if run slow, it should read 0 nitrates. Run the denitrator slow to start - maybe a few drops per second. When you test this output and its half or less than the tank nitrate level, you can begin to crank up the flow.

I just ordered the Korallin 3002 for my 230 gal.. Looking forward to using it and getting down the nitrates in my tank.

thanks robert! i appreciate your input, i must have read something wrong on the DIT forum i posted on the other pages. but he said after a few hours 6-12, you can test and see where the nitrates have "climbed". that was an indicator that the sulfer was colonizing. so at that point we would speed up to 120 dps. and wait again for a "increase in trates". then spead up to a stream.

it kinda sounded weird to me, but also made a lil scense. im in no way trying to argue or say your wrong i just want to get this thing dialed in as quickly as possible. on his study he had dialed in in about 2.5 days! wow! thats fast.....

also im switching out my 1200 for a 400 as a recirc! i like the 100gph as aposed to 300+gph. i feel like it could blow off the sulfer to much. idk yet, this hobby always has me double guessing.
