Azno3

Hey Cthetoy,
I saw what you posted here about the this reactor.I just set mine up 2 days ago.I got the Sul.reactor from Koralin with the media.I'm feeding it with a Aqua lift pump,the drip goes in the bottom of the feed line of the Cal reactor.It's a closed loop,with the Sulphur feed line.It's and old MRC calcium reactor.I take the PVC pipe out of the center of it.And drilled holes,making a spray bar inside.So the Sulphur stays in the reactor a long time.And hoping the Sul will eat up the ARM media.But I haven't saw any post as what I've done.As for the closed loop theory.As for maintaining ALK,Cal levels just yet.It's been running only 2 days,operation is doing fine.I'm looking now for tests results as I go.But it takes time for the Sulphur to kick in.Do you know anyone that has done this long term.As for the Sul vs Cal media?I would think being it's a closed loop,Eff drip rate would be more stronger brew here?:confused: I'm looking to get low Nit.and reasonable Alk and Cal readings.Only time will tell.Maybe some folks can chime in here,that's been doing this long term.But the guy I got it from it did lower his Traits.And was very happy with the reactor.Other than he broke down his tank.
Thanks Guys
 
Yeah Marc how are you doing ? Don't leave us hanging :) Is the AZNO3 working as planned ? Or we all hope or you wont' talk to us again :lol:
 
This stuff is suppose to be a 30 day treatment. He just started on the 22nd so it's a little early to expect results. :)
 
Understood but it's kind of cool to see if possibly the levels continue to rise before they fall. Just a more informed data set.

Besides we want to keep the thread going. :)

Who is on first base :D Where is on 3rd base :)
Also the donkey usually goes ahead of the cart :lol:
 
I used AZNO3 last year. I had a very bad HA problem in 240. No joke the HA was at 2-3 inches long and covering all my liverock. I removed most of the liverock and scrubbed as much of the long hair algae as possible. Then I started dosing AGNO3. After a couple of months the hair algae was gone and praise GOD has not returned!!!!!!!
 
Sorry for my absence. Work-related...

Anyway, dosing has been like this:

Day 1: 20 drops
Day 2: 20 drops
Day 3: 40 drops
Day 4: 40 drops
Day 5: 80 drops
Day 6: 80 drops
Today is 160 drops.

I'll test the nitrates. I'm also doing a 55g water change tomorrow.

And the nitrates are??? :)

Carlo

Checked them a few minutes ago. It appears that they are less than 50ppm (Salifert). I would say they seem to be around 40ppm. The kit jumps from 10 to 25 to 50 to 100ppm.

I think at my current dosing, I'm going to need a second bottle. ;)

Dosed 160 drops today. Water change will be in a few hours.

Tomorrow, the dose is 320 drops.
 
Yes Marc, when I tested AZNO3 on my 75 gallon, I used almost a bottle in 30 days. I suspect you'll need more. :D
 
Or then you have toxins given off by the turf scrubber that then needs to be handled.

No need for a swamp in an SPS system. :)

I don't have a diatom filter. What is PAC? (something Activated Carbon?)


PAC is powdered activated carbon I believe. Vortex is the only brand I know of that makes it and it is costly and hard to find.
