Nitrate levels and reactors
I've noticed a flurry of threads on the denitrators and DIY reactors lately, and it has lead me to wonder why. What kind of nitrate levels are people typically experiencing in their tanks that justifies building these. I have never had high nitrate levels, not sure why, I've done nothing special to control them. Typically, I have less than 2-3 ppm, testing done with a Salfert kit, I can just barely distinguish a slight tint of colour in the solution when viewed through the side of the vial. Looking from the top down, I can't even tell its changed colour at all.
Am I just lucky or is this not unusual?
