How much rock did you have? I'm confused on running the denitrAtor as to why if you have a DSB and enough rock?

jnsnams · 12/29/2008, 05:16 PM

i have about 200lbs of rock and about 140pds of sand...

You should probably change it when your phosphates start to rise or you notice algae. You might also increase the flow through your reactor if its stinking. imho

ive got maxi jet 300 or 600 or something like that on it..just the right flow per the manufacture specifications

When it get saturated it stinks, at least mine does. Maybe its just my sniffer is sensitive to it.

wonder if they make it were it changes color like di resin?? i have the pump going to the denitrater and from it right into the phosban stuff and out into a uv sterilizer back into the tank...

Justin

Im curious are using one pump to run all three? Do you see any head loss by the time it gets all the way through?

jnsnams · 12/30/2008, 04:36 PM

not really...goes thru with a steady flow in it...the pump runs it in to the reactor and the other one is linked to it and on the out tube is were the uv is...go flow still coming out of it..
