Hi! Six to eight weeks ago I set up a DIY Denitrator. It consists of 100 m (approx 300Yards) of airline tubing coiled into a bucket and the inlet plugged into a small pump and the outlet coming into a turbulent area of the tank.
At the time of setting up the denitrator the nitrate levels in the tank were close to 15ppm. Now after six to eight weeks the levels in the effluent are Undetectable and the levels in the tank are less than 2ppm.
I just wanted to let everyone know... and to thank everyone who has put out plans etc. for coil de nitrators, as I have been battling high nitrate problems in my tank for a long time...
Thanks!
