How long did it take to get the bacteria colonized enough to process the nitrate? Also, how much flow do you want entering the tower ?
This looks cool. Interesting idea.

"Dosing inside the reactor means no cyano outbreak."
Are you referring to dosing bacteria are carbon as a source for a cyno outbreak? I assume you expect the bacteria inside the bioreactor to consume carbon before it gets into bulk water.
So the cyno got drunk on vodka when it was added to bulk water. How cool is that.
I really like this concept. However it will not work for me because I have a 6" deep Jaubert Plenumn that is full of sludge after 20 years. I will dose bacteria into bulk water and allow the bugs to work on nutrient elimination. In my case, I see little need for carbon dosing.
Are you using a protein skimmer?
I think that you should put this thread in reef discussion or advanced topics.
