Any good denitrators?

[reefdawg7]

Just wondering what people experiences with denitrators.
Any recommended products,equipment,media,reactors,etc,etc.

 

[happyclam]

never used one yet, although I'd assume Deltec's is good. Davis Saxby has good success with them.

I'm using a simple yet effective denitrator."aquaripure"

its dosed with vodka and works very well.

Sulfur" denitrators work well but are typically very expensive and the effluent is acidic.

Same here using the simple "aquaripure" .It has worked great i use the sugar method instead of vodka.I like my livestock sweet not drunk LOL.

+1 I am using the same one and I have had great results!

I have used the sulphur denitrator from Korallin for many years non stop and I think it works great.

 

[tangtang clown]

Don't you have to use another reactor to neutrlize the sulfuric acid?
Is it a lot of work/maintenance?

 

[DallasCowboys]

How about a remote DSB? Cheap and effective.

 

[tangtang clown]

DSB is working great for me. Bahama Oolite #00. Nice color and full of denitrifying bacs.

food source for the bacteria.

 

[tangtang clown]

Vodka is for Russian feesh.

No maintenance. No other reactor required, there is coral gravel in the reactor. Works like a charm for me.

 

[JStorey]

+1 The coral gravel helps neutralize the acidity. It is virtually maintenance free and works as advertised.

 

[Pirate@40]

I use the Korallin also and it works great. I usually test around 2ppm with Salifert.

This sounds interesting. I am fairly new to this hob-e and I am open to trying new things. Everything seems to going great in my tank the way it is now and I don't know anyone who does this on their set-ups. What are the clear benefits that you guys have noticed? Corals, params, livestock, etc..?
