As far as the Nitrate at zero, I just more or less compare colors of the tests. And so far every test the colors are the same for both tank and reactor (around the 10 mark) keep in mind this is a fairly new setup so there shouldnt be a whole lot of build up. Does the fact of the tank being new, about three months, have any bearing on things????

I will try slowing down the flow and maybe look into some additives.
