I was wondering the BEST/SAFEST way to use carbon for the effluent of a sulfur denitrator.
Is there a formula for amount of carbon to use in ratio to the tank volume or the denitrator volume or its flowrate?
Since carbon clogs really fast, how often does it need to be changed to keep everybody safe?
Should it run through carbon bef/after aragonite chamber (for pH)?
What is the best way to set up the carbon filter? I was thinking of attaching a chamber to the effluent line via a union, so the carbon could be easily changed.... something with several holes drilled in bottom (cap) with a thin foam filter to keep the carbon in. It would just trickle out, etc...
I do NOT want to screw this part of my planning up and risk poisoning my fish, some of which I've had for years.
THANKS!!
