DIY plans for Coil Denitrator

[Luke]

Hey all,

I just stumbled across this and was wondering if anyone has one of these running directly out of and back into a tank (as opposed to a sump)? If so, is a pump required? Thanks in advance.

Yes a pump is required. I had a MJ1200 running mine, but tried smaller and cheaper powerheads, currently, its being powered by a 5$ powerhead. I dont know the brand, but it came with ViaAqua NANO setup i bought.

any powerhead will work, and the chamber could take upto 30 mins to fill, due to such a small pathway, and the headpressure created by it.
