My nitrates are high so looking at ways to reduce. De nitrators, chemicals etc.
One link in particular said bacteria for de nitrification is anaerobic while much of out in tank bacteria is aerobic.
I need a means to slow movement of water and reduce oxygen for this bacteria to grow.
Now most no longer use deep sand beds but isn't than the best place for anaerobic bacteria? Instead of relying on gadgets?
Just a thought as I am moving 1/2 my sand bed to my sump to stop my Goby turning the tank into a snow globe.
