This is my new weapon to fight with NO3. Sulphur Denitrator. As currently NO3 was shoot up to more than 100.

So i install this equipment in on 22 May and will monitor NO3 along the way. I understand it will take very long to kick in.

Hi bro,

IMHO its better to separate the sulphur beads and the calcium carbonate with some sponge.
