Nitrates

[jefft321]

Has anyone had much success with Nitrate reducers?
I know water changes are important, what else is recommended?
Thanks.

what are you nitrates now? and what type of setup do you have, fish? reef only? what do you have

I have a Nitrate reactor and I love it. My levels were high but now they are at 0 with the reactor. My fish and corals look much better as well.

FDfiremedics tank is AWSOME, crystal clear, great lookng fish and corals.

Nitrates

I have a 90 Gallon Reef with several fish and corals, I had the Nitrates tested at SaltyCritter recently, but I can't remember the number - I don't think it was super high, but high none the less.
I did recently move the aquarium - about 3 weeks ago.
What type of Nitrate reactor do you recommend?
Thanks

I know FDdiremedic has acoil tpye, and his works well. I am still thinking of adding one myself, but not sure. After my last water change i am only at 10-15.
I have heard the coil types are best but that you have to watch the flow rates, and keep them adjusted.
They acutally have plans on how to DIY one in the DIY section of the forums.
