heya guys
right well my current filter set up is running great.
but!
my nitrates are alot higher than i want them due to my current tap water being high in nitrates
40+ out the tap! pfft...
so i managed to get my hands on a Korallin Recirculating Sulphur Denitrator quite cheap on ebay wo0ho0!
here is my new proposed filter set up
it is basicly the same filter system as i have at the moment but with the korrallin added into the loop between the xp3 and the FBF.
i will be running in the korrallin on a small tank to get it cycled before i do any of this but thought i would air my plans to you guys first.
the reason for such high filtration is because its a wild piraya tank.
anyway heres my main question.
the PH from the suplhur detrinator (if the water wasnt buffered by a calcius source) would be 6.5
my tank is currently 7.4 so over a few months the PH would lower.
now piranha techicaly like a PH in that range so should i run the detriantor without calcious media to buffer it back
to my 7.4 range? or should i buffer it? im only thinking because my water changes will be with my tap water which is 7.4
cheers.
