Denitrator

[mitch91175]

Well wanting to make a switch from dosing vinegar to setting up a denitrator. Just not sure where to start. I was thinking about using an old NextReef MR1 Media reactor that I have laying around, but don't know if it'll work.

Any ideas? I think it'll work since it is a reactor so could be a rhetorical question. Sometimes you need a little confirmation, :). Right now I have chaeto in my sump, but tired of pruning it and I want to use that compartment for some LPS.

I have a 240G, tested nitrates yesterday and I got 100ppm (which I think may be a higher than it really is - don't like the color testers and my pinpoint needs a new probe). This is more of me doing something than an absolute necessity. Here is a video from 4 months ago:



Crazy looking back on some of the coral in the tank and seeing how much they have grown in the past 4 months. Not all are growing at the same rate, but definitely have good growth.

Cool. What sized tank is it on?

Not sure if you’re still looking but check out this thread.

Helped me make the decision to buy one 2 years ago. Just posted my experience with running one.
