Chev55 Posted February 5, 2012 Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 I was wondering what peoples thoughts are on Nitrate Reactors for fresh water systems. Might look at trying the Skimz NM152 Nitrate Reactor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhyr Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 I think I'd be interested in trying one in a non planted tank, and up until now, all my tanks have been planted. Now, unfortunately, I have a slight issue with money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacobraven Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 After reading through it - The water leaving the NO3 filter has a very low PH, approximately 6 to 6.5, or lower in fresh water. Suit Amricans I suppose [Cause a crash in the ph? for africans] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhyr Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Americans or most asian fish... Just a pity that most Americans and Asians like planted tanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacobraven Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 yer which makes it a bit pointless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhyr Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 If used in a properly setup african tank, wouldn't the ph be stable unless the nitrate level changed drastically? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacobraven Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 yer i was reading to they have a section for coral to raise ph in them before returning and the flow at 10-20lph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 Personally.....a lot simpler and better for fish to just simply do a water change!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nodalizer Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 You use these in combination with water changes. They are very good and fish love them. PH is not a problem on store bought ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
