that is about it.
All of these parts I used are available from most Home depots in the plumbing supply.
it will take about 4 - 6 weeks for the bacteria to form.
if anyone has any suggestions please add them.
If you have any questions, ask them.
I, again, fully admit that I am not an expert.
this design was just from what I found on the internet and making it into something that would work for me.
I am sorry if it gets confusing in some of the steps in my description.
I tried to make as simple as possible.
If you google DIY denitrators, you will come up with many plans such as this.
I hope this helps at least one person so that the 2 hours it took me to type this up is worth it..lol.
thanks
Neal

Neal, one thing that I'm doing with my denitrator as I wait for it to cycle, is testing the output NO3 and NO2. Maybe you'd like to do something similar with this unit of yours, just to get an idea of how fast (or slow) it really takes to cycle in. And measure your effluent rate in terms of ml/min and stuff like that.

Nice simple design, I'm tempted to try one as well (would be nice to do a comparison to the sulfur denitrator side-by-side).

PS. We could start a collection for a pedicure
