![]() That could make a sweet carbon reactor or even a NP Pellet reactor.

![]() I thought pretty much the only difference between these and their version of a calcium reactor were 1) the media you put in it, and 2) no CO2 recirc line. Converting to a calcium reactor would be a cinch - you already have one so that doesn't help YOU much but if you wanted to sell it that'd be one angle.
If you want to use it yourself I would say GFO, carbon, or biopellets. If you're not on the biopellets yet, come on, drink the koolaid already.

![]() (In this case the koolaid has vodka in it.) Biopellet aka solid vodka aka polymeric based carbon dosing you put in a reactor, set to tumble and poof, they eat nitrates (and to a lesser degree phosphate as well).

![]() So you're suggesting I use my denitrator as a, well, a denitrator? That's very creative
