But the bacteria wouldn't die all at once,but slowly as nitrates come down.As they die,they in turn will feed other bacteria,all would balance out.Wouldn't this be the same as the other bacteria in our tanks?.There is always some amonia (fish pee,food breakdown)Nitrites,and eventualy nitrates.I would think the reactor would always have a population,but less pop at 5ppm No3 as 100ppm.
I could be wrong,but it makes sense to me.
