This thread is a brief review of my experience using the Aquamaxx T2 sulfur denitrator. This is my second product from Aquamaxx as I am running the T2 calcium reactor and the quality of construction and materials used continue to impress. I started down this path as I could not reduce my nitrates below 16ppm (measured with RedSea NO3 test) regards of the size of water changes. I have a totally of 400 gallons in my system and a ton of large fish.
I started the reactor about four weeks ago and it quickly cycled after the first week the nitrates from the effluent read zero at a drip rate of 3 per second, I increased the rate to about 6 per second and let it sit for another week and waited till the output read zero once again. After two weeks I checked my tank parameter and to my surprise, the display tank nitrate levels read 10pp which at this point I started to believe that there was something to this reactor. Week three and my third increase in drip rate and the display tank is reading 6ppm NO3 (yay!!!). If you are wondering how I determined the drip rate I used google's metronome, just search for the term and the app will appear (60bpm = 1 drip per sec). Now I am at week four and just shy of a steady stream and the display tank is at 4ppm and coral that survived this whole ordeal at starting to opening up and regain a bunch of their color. Will continue to post updates in regards to progress and tips I learn along the way.
