Seawater Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Hi Guy, I have installed a Schuan Denitrator for about 1.5 year and the color of the yellow balls and coral chips have turn grey and moldy color. Is this normal or I need to change the media? Look forward to your expert advice. thanks: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chtan23 Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 You can take it out and rinse it. I just did mine after 2.5 yrs, so much detritus in it until it become nitrate factory instead of denitrator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chtan23 Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 If the effluent or output us still 0ppm NO3, then why would you want to do that? You are right we shouldn't do it if the effluent is 0ppm for NO3. But my effluent output is 100ppm (out of range)! The last time I measured it was 2 yrs ago where the effluent is 0ppm. So, I think it is best to measure it half yearly or quarterly, just to make sure it functions as it should be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
