well the denitrifier is 28" high by 4" wide with a gallon of bioballs inside, i have tried a slow drip rate (like almost a stream like) for 3 weeks, and no results, after investigating and reading a little bit more i found out that i wasnt giving the denitrifier enough time to culture the anaerobic bacteria, so after the last pump change i talked about on my last post, i slowed the drip rate to 1 drop a second maybe a little bit faster than that, lets say 1 1/2 drops, well after two weeks, my tank is at 20ppm and the output of denitrifier is at 15 ish, i know its not much but hey its better than nothing, i will just let it do its magic and as soon as i get 0 nitrates i will adjust it just like you say in your post, its the test results that tell you when to adjust the unit NOT time.
great post BTW
sana
