New Biodenitrator
 Woohoo! Just got it today from an eBay deal - $200... After getting my nitrates down to 20ppm with 200g worth of water changes over the past few weeks, I will run this on a rubbermaid with old tank water in it until I detect no more nitrites being produced... I'll keep everyone posted. If anyone has had one of these or any experience with one, your thoughts would be appreciated!

Yup it is. I like to keep lots of fish AND SPS... not a great combo when trying to keep nitrates low...

Why run it on a rubbermaid?? Are sort of not-quite-trusting the idea just yet?
I'd just run it on the system, what the heck. If you've got nitrates now, go for it! I was seriously tempted on one of these too, I still sorta am for maybe a tank down the road. Let us know whatcha think of it!

Tony,
I'm thinking of running it in a rubbermaid until the nitrite level stops reading just because I've recently dropped my nitrates doing water changes and my corals are responding like never before, so I don't want to screw that up. These things will produce nitrites and nitrates for the first 10 - 21 days so I just want to cycle it on a body of water containing no livestock but with nitrates like my old tank water... this will also give me an opportunity to learn how to dial it in. I have no doubts that it will work when cycled & dialed in, I've read some really encouraging stuff in about 8 different languages on these things.. lol

I haven't hear much about sulpher denitrators, do you have any good links on how it works and what is taking place during the process?
