I might be coming into this a bit late Tony, but I have a pintpoint monitor that you can borrow if it will help.

I'm curious about something. This sulpher denitrater media, isn't it supposed to absorb NO3 kind of like a PO4 sponge? If so, why would there even be a cycle at all. I understand that it acts as a biological bed so technically there should be a cycle, but in removing NO3 from the equation shouldn't you eliminate the cycling process? Or, is it merily a substrate for concentrated colonies of anerobic bacteria to denitrify the water?
