I re used the plumbing from failed purigen reactor. The 90's added enough loss so i didnt need to use the ball valve. If need be i'll cut off one of the 90's or just re do it with another valve.
1st tower is floss and foam, 2nd is a small amount of denitrate, 3rd is all denitrate.
Going to do another wc today and get nitrates as low as possible lwt it run for a week and start monitoring

Forgot to mention havent noticed anything with the purigen filled submersible filter.koltsixx nitrates still hit red. 40ppm
Too bad they don't sell it at wall mart, you could return it as defective. So it's only good at removing pre ammonia organics.. Just found this, disclosure on their Web site.
Its the 120 gph pump that was gettimg me 48 gph after being hooked up. I wanted the gph a little lower. he 90's helped. I was anxious to get it up and running. If need (gpb proves too low) be i'll remove the plumbing and jist use the ball valve since i know with out it im near the 48 gph mark
Thx mark. Ivr used it in the past in caniaters and hobs with some success. Im really not sure why im seeing 0 returns this time. Tap has no nitrates so not sure whats going on. Im gonna leave it in for now
I dont know. I dont mind it taking a while to accumulate the anerobic bb. Do you guys think dosing a bb product like biodigest is needed or just a luxury?
Then im gonna probably pass. Being at 0 nitrates is awesome but im a natural pessimist so just lowering them will make me happy
