Hello,
I have been using an anaerobic reactor to heavily reduce nitrates, it works amazing but I am having troubles dialing it in. Most of the time, the effluent is 0ppm nitrate but there is a definite detectable sulfur odor, which I presume to by hydrogen sulfide. This is only evident in the effluent not the tank water.
Is there negative effects to this? I have not noticed any effects in my aquarium, although it’s a 450 gallon system so there may be a very slow buildup. Would carbon remove it if necessary?
Thanks
