100 Nitrates? Nice.Things seem to look pretty good to me.
Thanks. I was ok with it as I am getting decent colors.
Yep. I have been watching them trend up over a month. I'm waiting for the 8 liters of matrix to start kicking in.
My 20+ liters haven't done anything yet but I'm clueless on what flow rate to set, any pearls of wisdom? Thanks

How long has your reactor been online? Have you measured the output for n03?
At first I ran it very slow like a drop per second for several days with no reduction, then I sped it up a bit to a slow stream with no reduction, I need to recheck nitrate level again. My tank nitrate was 44-50 before my last 225 gallon water change.

How long has it been online? I have read that it takes atleast 3 months of not longer.

Well my nitrates aren't dropping at all. I haven't been able to get my denitatrator to even kick in. I'm wondering if the recirculating pump shot craps? My corals don't seem to be effected much though. I am not keeping up with demands. I am pumping 90 ml per minute through my calcium reactor which is at 6.7 ph. My alkalinity is down to the high 4s. I will be dosing it higher over a couple weeks.
