That’s a good point. It may just replenish what was removed in the first place at that point.
If you used sodium carbonate it might just even out I would guess. If you used sodium hydroxide instead I would bet you would see an increase.

I run a Sul deni and tbh, my alk doesn’t fluctuate that much, even when dialing it in.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who uses it!
I manually tested each dayThat's good to hear, it's definitely possible mine was outside the norm. With automated alk testing now it's likely way less of an issue for people. Now that I have a trident maybe I'll put mine back online.
Thanks bud! I’mmaking the switch from running biopellets for 7 years so this should be fun. Thanks for your input!My brotha... I’m using the small aquamaxx on a 240. For almost a year my NO3 couldn’t get over 1.0 ppm. After I killed cyano it’s 10.0 ppm, but well on the way down.
Hey thanks man! I’m excited to give it a try. I’ve kept my nitrates around 20-30 ppm but after 7 years, my biopellet reactor started clogging up and having issues. I was wanting to get away from carbon dosing to run a higher alk so I’ve been researching the denitrator and decided to give it a try. You can mentor both Bubba and I on it.Ty here is what my reactor effluent NO3 was. 10 ppm. My tank is currently 10 ppm too, but remember until recently I couldn’t get it past 1.0 no matter how much I fed.
I talk with bubba a lot and I told him I’ll cut my effluent down to a couple drops per second to show him. The above picture was taken Thursday AM. This bottom picture is this AM. As you can see, the NO3 from the reactor is now 0.5 ppm at most. I was experimenting with higher NO3, but I think I’ll bring them down to maybe 1-2 ppm max. At this point I’ll up the effluent output and it gets to a point I’ll go full bore and it’ll maintain super low nitrates for me.
Did you find that carbon dosing was affecting coral coloration at all?Hey thanks man! I’m excited to give it a try.

Not to me. Kept all my former pretty tanks under carbon dosing so still a fan of the method... just tired of not being able to run alk above 8.0 dKh and when at a point to spend money on another biopellet reactor... figured give sulfite denitrator a try first and see if I like it more. If not, I’ll go right back to biopellets again.Did you find that carbon dosing was affecting coral coloration at all?

nah, they're rare Cambodian breastmilk soaked, Malaysian Tiger urine dyed, Sulawesi seawater washed, Himalayan rock salt rubbed special grade Andes mountain slab rock.Ubba tuba granite counter tops??
Well pardon me all over the placenah, they're rare Cambodian breastmilk soaked, Malaysian Tiger urine dyed, Sulawesi seawater washed, Himalayan rock salt rubbed special grade Andes mountain slab rock.
If you mean he currently lives in a 700 gallon tank at the LFS right now, then yes... timeout!:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:Is he in timeout now?
