Taking Reducing Nitrates to the Next Level 

Hey Blue. Love the DIY aspect of this and all the thought that went into it. Good luck and keep us posted

I'm just happy for you cuz this machine has changed my life and change the whole way I Reef

That is a complex solution to a simple issue. Sulfur media isn't needed to create denitrification. Just some porous stone such as pumice rock. The key to a denitrifying filter is limit flow (start around 1 gallon per hour drip) and limit O2 (which is accomplished by limiting flow). Per my testing in the development of my own denitrifying filter, I find that @ around .25ppm phosphates you are anywhere between 0.60 to 0.34 ppm nitrates. To get any lower than those numbers will likely require carbon dosing, but any lower than .25 and .6-.3 isn't good for corals that feed off these nutrients.

Great setup, looks like you did your research!

Hell yeah love it

Very cool man. I've never seen or heard of a sulfate media for no3 reduction. Very interesting!

Hey Blue! I was listening to Murphy's live stream and heard you and Jeff talking about this and was wondering why I had not seen the video. Came on over to find I was not subbed. I was sure I was subbed but regardless I am now. checkin out your vids to catch up. lol

Nice !!

Great looking setup. I've read they work great but can put nitrates at zero when it starts working.

Hi Blue, does this system works? I saw a video, of the upgrade. I am trying to do the same as with your bashsea setup.

You must do that 1st for 24 hours that's really gonna establish the bacteria that's an important part

I tried biopellets and it algae bombed my tank. I'm going to try this next.

What is the next level? After sulfur?

How is this working? I may need to put something like this on my clownfish broodstock tank. I've been using bio pellets for a couple months now but it has not helped yet. I've got 2 boxes of marinepure spheres for the bacteria to grow on as well. Thanks

You need to seed it with your tank water you fill it with your tank water put the lid on no pumps know nothing water read let sit for 24 hours then slowly start dripping to a fast fast pace

I know it's been a while since you made this video but I was wondering what you are putting on the John Guest 1/4 in push connect fittings?

Yo blue. Your definitely going to have to change that pump I myself had to return mine and get more of a small type powerhead as you said in the video it was wide open and only dripping out that's not going to be fast enough to feed all that bacteria when it actually grows it eats like crazy. Mine almost runs as fast as an RO water filter. I mean if you have any questions about that system I think you have a little too much aragonite cuz it's powerful and it goes a long way I have a lot less and I have a 600 gallon tank but I've been through all the ups and downs with the sulfur denitrifier. The fast of the flow the faster it removes the nitrates the slow of the flow the slower it remove zit yeah but definitely definitely bigger pump because the bacteria is going to start to starve you definitely will not be feeding it fast enough with that pump and they clog a lot they like to stop a lot hit me up you got any questions about it I almost became an expert in them because I went through every issue

Do you run it open first? Then slow it down? I have a seapora one....

Can you let us know how is it going? Did it work? I always used this type of reactors on my set ups and I never had to worry about nitrates. However, I think your set up is overkill. Let us know please. Thanks

8:53 lol Catscalways have to check out what's going on. I have 2 of them myself.

Have you noticed your alkalinity dropping faster since you set this up?

What are your phosphates? I'm battling high phosphates (.4) but I have 0 nitrates.

What sulfer you using now? Soil sulfer sold on amazon or landscape places?

what kind of pump is that? Can you please tell me the name? Thank you!

How is working out for you? Are you still using it? I have two of those media reactors lying around so I may do the same thing? Thank you for sharing

Hey Blue it's been a few months on this. how's it going you still using this?

Great Video Jon. Are you still vodka dosing while doing this?

I told blue reach out to me cause I have a lot of experience in them but he fired at all upon his own and then midway through reached out to me

Nice job on the setup, may give this a try... Egads, do not operate any heavy machinery today, as I just saw a black cat cross your path 😳😳😳

1 drip per second = 34 gallons per YEAR :)

Dislike for music. Sorry.
