Hi everyone.
So I have struggled with high nitrates for a while and tried several things, water changes don't seem to do anything, NOPOX doesn't touch it and Bio pearls... nothing.
I have been lead down the path now of trying a sulphur denitrator.
I have been given a Deltec recirculating reactor (I think it was original a kalk one but should be able to do what I need) and I have bought some sulphur pears today.
My question is, what do I need to put above above it to bring the acidity back down that the sulfur causes? I believe hydrocarbonate but what is that also called and where can I get it? Is there anything else that can use? I was pointed in the direction of a product (aragonite) I believe but it was like £40 for a relative small tub?
Any advice welcome please.
Thanks.
