Wow, nice info there.
After the terrible incident, the output from my denitrator is more stable. Now i get 0 nitrate output and less rotten egg smell. Is it due to the sudden increase in carbon source that the anaerobes start to work double hard? IF so, then when the carbon source depletes, means the anaerobes will start to die and i'm back to square 1? Another qns... is the nr5000 better or a modified eheim cannister is better? |

Too much carbon source, anaerobe will bloom and choke the denitrator leading to too many dead spots inside. Beside having slime coming out, hydrogen sulfide is the other. Hmmm NR5000 is more than twice the size of the modified eheim canister (like the one bro mudskipper is using). How to compare? |

Very clear explanation. Any drawback of this way of managing the flow rate of the Denitrator?
Sorry if I am jumping the gun, just go at your pace. |

There are many ORP controllers in the market. Some are relatively cheap (less than 200) and some are expensive (800 and above). The problem is not many can be use for this application. Most of them can be set to a minimum of 0mV which is suitable for ozone application. IMO, denitrification best performance occur in the region between -200 to -250mV. The main requirement is exactly as what mod Sunburst had mentioned previously, which is the ability to set to -500mV although -300mV is the possible. |

Could you explain what -500mV indicates?

But this is quite easy to be fixed right? Just increase the dripping rate until the rotten egg smell (hydrogen sulfide) gone...
