yeah please. i also try many different models in the past. and now i run lfs and still no easy solution :(
for saltwater biopellet is excellent solution. but these don't work for freshwater. i like to introduce many many many plants, but this still just help not the solution. i think reactor with anaerobic zone can work very well though. thx for sharing |

Best and most economical way to remove Nitrate is to do water change. Good for the fishes in term of growth as u remove anti growth homones also. Not worth trying all sort of products, wc is still the best. If the set up is outdoor, then other wise, heavy planting is a good option.

Imba K1 siao....
Swee swee.. Respect... you running on two sump ah the white pipes are gravity pull??? Anyway what you bioload ah? |
k1 media wont remove nitrate.. they will convert your ammonia to nitrite then to nitrate.. for reducing nitrate u will need to run a media under very low flow (150 - 200l/hr) and in places with low oxygen level.
