I don't really think that you need to worry about aerating it.
You are only adding 2 or 3 drips a second, not really enough in my opinion to drop the oxygen levels in the tank.

I was wondering that, however i decided to get a few opinions from some long term reefers before i figure out how to get it in to my tank.

i was thinking of getting one of those drip things that are on a I.V. and dripping into the inlet of the Fluval and so be it. will try something im sure, and will get some pics and results of the after product as soon as i can.

I've got a brand new overflow that I'm not going to use, it's not a CPR though. Did you consider having the effluent going into your skimmer? If not how about sending it into the intake on a power head.

Nice Work! What was the cost involved for everything and approximately how much time did it take you?

it took me about 2 hours in total..
the cost was under 50.00 bucks.
minus the media about 30.00 bucks.
the valves and the bacteria media were the most expensive.
thanks
Neal

Thumbs up

Finally got my Coil DeNitrator up and running. No results yet, as it has been on the tank for an hour.

Drip rate is 1 - 2 / sec. and drips directly into the tank above the surface skimmer, so basically is drips into the surface skimmer, then goes throught filters and back out the other side. ..

will post Nitrate levals weekly to see how they drop. Currently , using Aquarium pharmasuticals tester,

Nitrate is @ 160 PPM as of 03/04/07
