Yeah, I used a similar unit for a while... they definitely work. I found positive effects on both nitrate and phosphate but then I also started running GFO simultaneously so whether the unit was doing anything to the PO4 is up for debate. I moved and sold that setup and when I got re-established I made sure I wouldn't have the same problems, but they definitely do work on the nitrates.

The only saving grace for me was after most of my fish died - the corals didn't. I watched the tank go through a nasty algae bloom but the corals hung on and the tank turned a huge corner about a month ago. The corals are looking great again and the surviving fish look happy and healthy. I haven't done a water change at all as I wanted to see how the unit responded. I dose the aquaripure with vodka as it is the recommended way but I am told sugar water will also work. Vodka has the added benefit of dosing me as well.  I am actually getting compliments on my tank and I am actually getting a few pieces of sps growing, something I have had issues with in the past. I will try to post some pics in the near future. In short though if asked I would definately recommend the Aquaripure unit.  |
