I have a 180 gallon Fowlr tank with nitrates that run between 60 and 80 ppm (post and pre water change respectively). Based on the consistency of my water changes (25% per week), I can infer that the weekly nitrate increase is around 20 ppm. I have some big fish in there so there is quite the bioload.
The question is, do nitrate reactor manufacturers provide a theoretical nitrate removal rate for their reactors? Or has this kind of question ever been posted/answered before? The goal of course is to reduce the frequency of water changes.
