SRC Member shootsimon Posted May 9, 2006 SRC Member Share Posted May 9, 2006 Since the input is T-off from another pump, do you guys think the output can be input to a CR??? Tot of this as to reduce the number of T-offs. An since within the Sulphur Denitrator chamber also need another layer of CR media act as buffer so this idea arise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Tigger Posted May 9, 2006 SRC Member Share Posted May 9, 2006 I dont think so, if can be done, Bro MT would have T off to his CR I think I read some where that the sulphate by pdt will form a layer of coating on the CR media and makes it more diff for the acid to "burn" the media, resulting in reduce effiecient of the CR.One evidence is that the CR media will turn yellow in colour.

SRC Member shootsimon Posted May 10, 2006 SRC Member Share Posted May 10, 2006 But the by the time the water flow back it should have been absorbed by the CR media from the Denitrator chamber. If not won't it be bad if it goes straight back to the tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member boxfish Posted May 10, 2006 SRC Member Share Posted May 10, 2006 any cheaper sulphur filter in the market? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Melvyn Tan Posted May 10, 2006 Author SRC Member Share Posted May 10, 2006 I my opinion, whether you feed directly into the CR or via a reservoir, it should be the same. A closer look in the arrangement of the filtration system (sump) designed will reveal the rationale.

SRC Member Melvyn Tan Posted May 10, 2006 Author SRC Member Share Posted May 10, 2006 Cheap things can't really be good (for certain things) and good things don't come cheap unless you get at good price - purely my opinion. But there are some things that are priced high but isn't any good. My CR media nor the coral sand above the sulphur does not turn yellow.

SRC Member zephyros Posted May 31, 2006 SRC Member Share Posted May 31, 2006 hi Melvyn, My H&S Sulphur/Nitrate Filter output is dripped into a pvc pipe with carbon. 1 week ago, i noticed that the water in the pvc pipe start to turn cloudly. I had run the eq coming to 3 mnths already. do you experience the same thing? is this norm? juz wanna check with fellow reefer if this is the norm before asking SL. TIA.

SRC Member Melvyn Tan Posted May 31, 2006 Author SRC Member Share Posted May 31, 2006 Turning cloudy is a good thing, it indicates the acidicity of the effluent "burning" the coral chips (or whatever calcium media that you place above the suphur beads) thereby causing the final effluent exiting the sulphur unit one that has calcium ions and high in dkh. Do check that there is no chokage in your exit tube. This cloudiness indicates that you are ready to have greater flow (the effluent drip) as overall sulphur-based denitrification by the T. denitrificans are efficient. Thus, faster cleansing of the nitrates in your tank. If it is cloudy in the pvc pipe, the water above the sulphur unit should also be cloudy. I pass the effluent through a secondary chamber of coral ships and carbon below before discharging. Cheers.

SRC Member zorden Posted June 1, 2006 SRC Member Share Posted June 1, 2006 off topic.. a while. H&S skimmer is really solid my nitrate is zero without any nutrient export such as algae or denitrator....

SRC Member zephyros Posted June 2, 2006 SRC Member Share Posted June 2, 2006 bros, u'er checking how the water get INTO the denitrator right. the pump comes with it. But if u r asking how water get OUT of the denitrator, its very simple, there's a tube outlet with a tap device to control the drip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member Melvyn Tan Posted June 5, 2006 Author SRC Member Share Posted June 5, 2006 The good thing about this design is that - when placed in the sump, it draws the sump water directly from below where the pump is located, thus it do away with the need for a dosing pump. Even when used outsump, you can fix the piping works to draw water from the sump into the unit.

SRC Member zephyros Posted June 6, 2006 SRC Member Share Posted June 6, 2006 Hi bros, are you using a single direction valve at the output to prevent the water in the denitrator from flowing back to sump when there is a power trip? but in the first place, does it matters if the water in the denitrator flow back into the sump (via the pump)??? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member Melvyn Tan Posted June 8, 2006 Author SRC Member Share Posted June 8, 2006 The top control valve, controls the drip/flow rate of the effluent. It will be good to install a one-way check valve to prevent backflow in instance of power failure, where this will cause the release of water in the containment to the sump (if used in-sump). This water being released to the sump should be ok, but the empty containment with the bacteria may die off causing sudden spike. Hope it helps.
