Used hydra stream before. Was told by sales guy it remove ammonia before it has a chance to break down to nitrate. If used continuously will cause all coralline algae to die off because no nutrient so they advise to use only on alternate days. I let it run for 24 x 7 for months and nitrate never gone down...ha ha ha

OIC.. thanks for the info..

Nitrate never gone down? I thought will not have nitrate if they remove ammonia.

Amonia is the first stage of cycling and nitrate is the last so I think it is totally different. Nitrate can only be exported by plant ect..

I dunno is it right anot.. but to my understanding it only break down ammonia before it turn to nitrate. so if ur tank is a mature tank, hydra will convert ur ammonia but ur existing nitrate will still be there unless u export it with wc, plant or run on zeovit ba.. unless it a new tank with zero nitrate, then the ammonia nv have a chance to turn nitrate and ur nitrate will always stay at zero..

Not much information on the Internet as this is still a relatively new product. But in the arofanatic forum quite a number of aro keeper are using it
