Natureef denitrator instructions

Hey Steve,
Sent you a PM, LMK if you want more info.

To bring you up to date:
I still dose pure methanol manually.
I cycle the denitrator every 8 hours.
My nitrates are around 2.5-5mg/l on Salifert
I feed my 30 fish twice daily; each feeding includes 4 cubes of frozen food (varies)
I feed daily 1/3 of a 10"x10" sheet of nori that I buy from the asian market

Do you rinse the frozen food out before feeding it?

From what I understand, frozen mysis has more nutrients than pellets and flakes. Just the nature of the beast.

hey Dave do you know why natureef / adolf cut his mix to 20% ? as it used to be full power

Dunno, safety? Anything under 70% is nonflammable. I keep the pure methanol in the frig but will dilute to 50% when I automate it. Still using up the green stuff ;)
 
bingo they were busted several times and fined for shipping " flammable s" so the answer for them to save a buck was step on the product. make it under the threshold and avoid extra fees and data log book for shipping flammables
so originally both natureef and Spectacular sea systems the two mfgs fo denitrators used 100% meth adolf only added his witches brew and food coloring

sure I/We Dave and myself are going to be posting a thread about the data for this as we are starting it from scratch on a system with higher nitrates and larger volume of water .....I will start up the thread give me a few to upload the pics so far

great! please be sure to put a link to the thread in here.
 
I hear the solution can be scalable which is very exciting. Dr T. says that it may be easier to scale smaller than to scale bigger. This is due to the volume of water in each cycle. Pretty soon we will all be storing flamable Methanol in our refrigerators. With all the grow-lights in my house and now 100% Methanol showing-up at my doorstep. Go figure what the neighbors will think... LOL...

Sent you a Pm Thinking of running this system
Methanol / is the same fuel we used in sprint cars.
It is also used in the garment industry to clean /also used in hospitals
It is also very cheap to purchase a couple of dollars per gallon.
The only draw back is there is some type of lint/silt that would clog out injectors over time . A 55 gallon drum of this was a little over $100.00. Why this burns or catches on fire it has very little flame compared to a gas fire . Also harder to get to ignite. If I asked to many question's in the pm please forgive me .
Thanks Greg :wavehand:
 
If you are starting up I am removing some bacteria if you want to come get it .....I posted that in the other thread also
