Thanks for the post... I think there are a lot of people in the same boat, not knowing about denitrators. I suspect that's for a good reason that I just can't figure out yet. I agree with the water changes and vacuuming.
FYI:
Targeting 0.1-0.2ppm, currently running GFO to keep phosphates <0.03ppm, and ideally lower.
I also plan on doing a 15% WC weekly, which I hope to turn into a 15% continuous water change... but that's for a different thread.
Also, I am just wrapping up the cycle, so my bio-load is nil. I just was researching ZEOvit and because they recommend starting it on a new system, and I like some aspects but not all, so I hoped to compromise with a denitrator.
I can't find too many downsides on the web, but they are rather unpopular, so that must be for a reason.
