DIY Denitrator?
Anyone have a clue how to go about making a diy denitrator like the ones that use a coil and can be used with vodka as a carbon source. The idea is to feed anaerobic bacteria a carbon source and let them eat my nitrates.
Any ideas guys? Ryan

I've made one of the coils before and believe me, it's easer to just put in a 1/4 tsp of sugar every day. The sugar alone will bring your nitrates down under 5 ppm in two weeks.
