AZOO Denitrator

[Limpc]

Hi all,

I saw recently at a LFS the above product from AZOO. Could not find further information on the web, though.

Basically, there are 2 adjoining cylinders which will be utilised to cultivate anaerobic bateria. There is a bottle of solution bundled to enhance and speed up the growth.

The retail price is reasonable.

I'm sure pro-DSB reefers will advocate about DSB but unfortunately, I'm one of few who do not have the luxury of in-tank space, sump and refugium.

Anyone has any experience using this device for effective nitrate reduction ?

Hi Limpc,

i am in the same situation as u. I have tried using the H&S denitrator using sulphur and sand. Unfortunately, the nitrate level coming out of the denitrator is still sky high. Have decided to get a sump and use either DSB or ecosystem in the sump. I have not tried denitrators that comes with bacteria.

thanks, guys.

Looks like I'm ending up in a deadlock situation.

Hi, I'm using the Aquamedic Denitrator 400 with deniballs as food source for the bacteria. My nitrate has dropped from 100+++ to zero in a months time. I think it definitely works!

Oooooh, u caught my attention there! Can give more details abt it? How it works, wat it needs to replenish, how much for all the stuff...

Thanx!

Hi, I heard good review of this product too. But couldn't get it now because no more stock and the boss also can't give exact date when this product arriving.

Hi guys, went to Marine Life at Hong Leong Garden yesterday and found out that they do bring in Aquamedic Denitrator upon request. Saw a unit rated for 1000 litre there ordered by a customer.

I've trying to get the Denitrator 400 from Aquamart since July but till now stock still haven come in

Sealife's selling tat H&S Sulphur Denitrator for S$650, sulphur for S$50 per kg and u need to change it once a year. Tot of getting it but sad to know from TTBoy tat tis expensive toy doesn't work

FYI, it's actually the same unit as the Korallin Kalkreactor...

The literature says after your nitrate drops to zero, you can convert it to a kalkreactor immediately.

IMO... it's extremely strange.

Guys, You would be better off building a sump.... with a 6 inch DSB... and just pump water in and overflow out... it's much much much cheaper and it works the same way. DSBs reduces nitrates, why waste money getting a denitrator??

LFS would kill me!

YUp, AT's right instead of spending for a denitrator use a DSB. I never had nitrate problems using a DSB. For my SPS tank adding calcium fast enough is my main problem.

Instead of spending for a denitrator which requires maintenance use your savings for other essential equipment.
