Just saw this "big" announcement......

Well - I think the whole reefing industry has never heard of my solution to nitrate problems. I suffered from 130ppm+ NO3 and now it’s around 15ppm and totally adjustable from my phone! It’s a new and revolutionary technology called sulfur denitrator. For large tanks with high bioload, you will never have to worry about high nitrates ever again! The media lasts at least 1-2 years so super low maintenance for busy (or lazy) reefers! 
Ok fine - not sure why people moved away from sulfur denitrification but it’s been working great for me on my big tank. The smaller tanks are on cruise control with just vodka dosing, also super easy.

I used a Sera biodenitrator (same concept) back in circa 1990 and it worked like a charm. The effluent read 0 nitrates. It blew our minds at the time.

The biggest issue with the sulfur denitrification and the alcoholic based one was the pump driving them, I have both of these units, alas not set up, but standalone pumps are a game changer Kamoer FX-STP2 WiFi Continuous-Duty Peristaltic Dosing Pump. Man prices has come up, I feel like this guy

My sulfur denitrator runs off a Kamoer STP2, currently at 40mL/min. However, what’s more important is managing negative ORP inside the reactor. Anaerobic bacteria colonizes best between -200mV to -250mV. If you get to -300mV or lower, you’ll get Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) — not good! Leave it long term and you can nuke the tank - that’s the danger and I suppose why people don’t do this anymore. You will lose a little Alk as part of denitrification and oh btw: more sulfur over time. Therefore, I set alerts on the Apex at -250mV. I just need to increase the flow to never go under and can do this remotely from my phone.

Curious - what are you observing with that thing - cute, tiny bubbles?
Sorry, couldn’t help myself…
