For our typical tropical feshwater setup, this will not be so.

I am using AquaMedic carbolit.

Bio-media is just a "house" for the bacteria to stay. It is the living condition that matters.

For nitrification, the presence of O2 is a must.
For denitrification, O2 is a taboo!

Do you want to achieve zero O2 within your sump?

Can NR1000 be mounted horizontally instead of vertically?

hi atom , is a must for a coil denitrator to be feed ? because i've diy a coil denitrator only the 1st few days i feed with sugerwater n i can get reading of nitrator @ 0 then i stop feeding it n it has run for about a 6mth n i still can get 0 nitrator .does it mean a coil denitrator can go without feeding or it feeding on something els ? i've tested my water reading ammonia , nitrite , nitrate all @ 0ppm & ph 7.0 .wc 1 two week .

I wonder if this tread is still alive? Bro atom, gt a question to ask. Can I add deniball into my DIY coil denitrator? Because I wanted to get away the hassle to feed voka daily. I read ur first post till last, u never mention putting in deniball into coil system other then carbon base system. Pls advice. Thank u.

The last time he built an unit and used on my tank, deniballs was placed.
