I believe this is a chemistry question: How do carbon dosing and a sulfur denitrator interfere with each other in the same sysyem?
In Red Sea's Reef Care Program Algae Control, pg. 8:
"Do not use NO3O4-X in conjunction with sulphur based de-nitrators or phosphate and nitrate removers as the different methods for nitrate and phosphate reduction will cause interference."
I believe I understand, taking into account that bacteria consume phosphate and nitrate in a ratio, why using something like GFO would cause diminished results in nitrate reduction when carbon dosing.
I do not understand how using both systems in the same aquarium would interfere with each other.
