I have a thread on my nitrate problem but I thought I would start a new thread on reducing my nitrates with the use of Seachem De-Nitrate in a Phosban Reactor. As of tonight I have about 500ml of denitrate in the phosban reactor which is about 3/4 the way full. I spoke to a rep at Seachem and that was what they suggested for a 55g tank. I have also added 3 cap fulls of Seachem Stability to help kick start the bacteria in the reactor. Attached to the reactor I have a Rio 90 which is dialed down with there provided ball valve to 2.5gph. I will keep this updated as the weeks go on. I will be out of town till Sunday but will provide a test then. Below is a pic of the Nitrates in the tank as of right now. Higher than I want and this is after a 30% waterchange. I would say they are between 5 and 10ppm. They do look a little darker in the photo than what they actually are. See what you think? Feel free to tag along, make suggestions, what ever.
