Nice Work! What was the cost involved for everything and approximately how much time did it take you?

it took me about 2 hours in total..
the cost was under 50.00 bucks.
minus the media about 30.00 bucks.
the valves and the bacteria media were the most expensive.
thanks
Neal

Thumbs up

Finally got my Coil DeNitrator up and running. No results yet, as it has been on the tank for an hour.

Drip rate is 1 - 2 / sec. and drips directly into the tank above the surface skimmer, so basically is drips into the surface skimmer, then goes throught filters and back out the other side. ..

will post Nitrate levals weekly to see how they drop. Currently , using Aquarium pharmasuticals tester,

Nitrate is @ 160 PPM as of 03/04/07

Just tested again after water change and 3 hours of denitrator (not having an effect yet i know...)

looks to be @ 80 ppm mg/L

hard to tell with these test kits.

Bumping this old thread back to the front.

For those that tried the coil denitrator, how have your results been in the timeframe up until now?
