i just read the first page,
i have been using Korallin Sulphur denitrator for about 8-10 yrs.
Slow drip will cause hydrogen sulfide gas which in large numbers is deadly to fish. first sign will be smell. second fish will swim like drunk.
As the bacteria matures you will need to adjust the flow. making it flow faster, or else H2S gas will form.
Mine is almost fully opened on flow. it works so well that Nitrates remain 0 but i dont want them to be 0 so i dose Sodium Nitrate to keep it at 2-5ppm.
Doing so will deplete alkalinity fast and drop pH so compensate for that.
