Allrighty then! I promised updates as soon as I had any...
I did a water change last weekend and tank nitrates were at 20+ ppm ...
I took 20g of old water to seed the reactor outside the system, and set it at a steady drip rate, actual volume not determined as of yet...
Hooked up the reactor Tuesday and so far in 5 days nitrates are already down to <10ppm... I wasn't expecting any change so quickly... Gotta get a nitrite test kit to see if there are any... if not, I'll be plumbing this little godsend into the main system!  Maybe I CAN keep my fish and corals after all!
