Also, I saw one post mention the reactor output had Zero nitrate. Is this a generally true statement? Or should I be expecting something in the 5-10 range?

The output is not always zero as it really depends on what the Nitrate levels are going in. Maybe slow your flow down just a little to allow more reaction time. Also you may want to try dosing some Zeo Bak or Brightwell Microbacter 7, both of these will inoculate your system and help prevent a monoculture situation.
