SRC Member zephyros Posted August 17, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted August 17, 2005 hi bros and sis, I am thinking of getting the aquamedic nitrate reductor to bring down the nitrate level in my tank. currently, i've already taken out all bio-balls and coral-chips in the sump, but my nitrate is still hovering in the range of 10-20, most likely due to my feeding (twice a day), but i like to feed the fishes. anyway, like to know from fellow reefers on comments on this product. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AhLoon Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 I remembered KTLK and Monsterz1975 used the Denitrator 1000 for their setup. Perhaps you can PM them for their comments? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard reviews and also ask fellow bros about Aqua-Medic Nitrate reductor and so far the reviews have been good ....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
