Explain to me how you can have denitrification and separate all the other things from detritus.

Are you familiar with the Redfield Ratio?


I'm waiting on your explaination.


I don't understand the question. If the sand bed takes out a lot of nitrogen, leaving phosphorus, and I use iron oxide to bind the phosphate, I can keep phosphate and nitrogen low.
