#5. Sulphur fed De-nitrator filter
Finished tinkering with my partition of the sump to run the moving media stuff.
Got 1cu.ft. of utm1 media (looks just like k1 but slightly bigger?)
[video=youtube;xNpM5fUwaos]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNpM5fUwaos[/video]
it's powered by a Pondmaster AP-40 with 4x Hydroponic stones that are about 2" round, supersized standard airstones. Pump is loud but it's sound deadened in the stand so it's not so loud once the doors are closed.
Vid was taken with water level halfway of it's normal water level cause I was messing with some of the other pumps.
this partition is fed from one of the overflows which goes through filter padding > drip tray > ~5g bio-balls > UTM1 media... then it flows through the partition plate then goes through the partition for small fish then through roughly 12-13L of Pond Matrix media then back into the tank.

This is the way I started mine with a section of sump
You look to have the same 2" ball air stones I started with to
It looks like its boiling from the front but chances are the whole section is not boiling like that
I had 6 x ball air stones like that in a 30x12 section but it stopped moving as well after a few days
What will work better is the 9" disk air stones it will move more evenly

I can't find any video of the first way I started mine but I have found this pic
As you can see its the same as the above
And I still say the sump space can be used better than wasting it on moving bed

How efficient are these? Do you have any info on them? Sounds interesting and I have read some but never in depth.
I have use two types and again they are rubbish
I used a shuran model with sulpha beads that was rubbish then I used the same reactor with was alcohol fed
I also used a aquamedic nr1000 which use aquamedic own brand deniballs which desolved after time
I have tried loads of stuff on my tank in the hunt for perfect water
And the best in my eyes is big sump sand filter and UV I chopped changed and tried new ideas but returned to what I know works
It's all fun and game playing with new ideas some may work and others don't
Lets see how many more of my posts get deleted

looks great and moving well right then 3 days later a big k3 traffic jam

I also have some traffic jams in some places.
The K1 sort of defines a path and part of it goes to the sides and jams...
That is one reason why round reactor must work better...
