Quick update. About a week ago I separated the pellets and put them into a phosban reactor, fed by a Maxijet 1200, throttled back on the reactor (not quite full bore on the pump).
I was optimistic that this would be a beneficial change, however, I am simply astonished at the results a week later.
Last week my nitrate reading was 10, as it had been for several weeks prior.
This week, my nitrate reading is bouncing between 3 and 4 (splitting the difference, let's call that 3.5). WOW.
But it gets better. I tested the effluent of the pellet reactor as well as the zeovit reactor:
- The zeolites are pulling nitrate down, the effluent has a reading of 2 for nitrate.
- The pellets have an effluent reading of zero (specifically, "under-range" on the meter, which means <1.0).
