Denitrator Help

[bmkj02]

I have set up a DIY coil denitrator for the past 6 weeks. Its has about 100ft of RO tubing in it on a 125g tank. Its set about 1 drip a sec. Now is the nitrate level coming out the denitrator supposed to be higher or lower than the DT? Mine is coming out higher. LFS told me slower the drip is better???? Any ideas?? Thanks

You should be getting 0 out of the reactor. I believe that you should increase your flow to 3 or 4 drips

When its going through its cycle it will be higher than your DT water. your drip should be about 3-4 drips a sec. It will take roughly 6 weeks or so to cycle it.

Thanks everyone. Ill give it a couple more weeks and see what happens. Its been set at 1 drip a sec so I will speed it up and see.
