do anaerobic bacteria break down nitrate better then aerobic?

as far as i know only anaerobic bacteria can break down nitrate.

They sure are pretty huh!?! And the size...imagine dragging those bags of material out to clean them .
Can we say"'pre-filtered UGF" ?! .

hmmm might try that possible denitrification

Nope, too much flow, light and oxygen.

Nope, aerobic bacteria only doesn't break down nitrates, only ammonia/nitrItes.

What?...No comments on the frames needing bracing...

I'm actually planning something similar to this for my 210g. I've got 2 Model 3 wet/dry's from AGA that I plan running as normal with bioballs. Then in the space after the bioballs, I'm going to have a nice layer of ceramic rings. I've heard nothing about good things and I'm sure it will help with the inevitable over stocking.

Holy crap! That is a lot of bio media in the sump. You could probably buy the Aros cheaper than buying all that media! LOL

this filter is the exact opposite of the famous japanese bakki ( sp?) shower filter.......tons of flow...tons of air...........great water quality
