Denitrifier for aquarium

Jesse3979

The Denitrifier is a vessel (it is unclear whether it should be taller, narrower or wider and smaller) filled with special gray material, under which is coral gravel. Water enters the Denitrifier at a rate of 1 drop per second (again, if the container is wider and smaller, the water flow rate could perhaps be increased). However, I did not understand how the water is evenly distributed in the gray material. In the layer of coral gravel, the acid formed is neutralized... That is, I can buy a plastic pipe 10 cm in diameter and 50 cm high, and place a plastic grid on the bottom, and a sponge on top of it. Then I can fill it with gravel (what thickness?), then a sponge, and finally the gray material. And water will drip on top of it at a rate of 1 drop per second... Am I correctly understanding the Denitrifier? Anyone who can help,

There is a little bit written here about denitrification. But what does sulfur have to do with it?

Read from the 11th message here and I think you will understand everything...

For those interested, this same topic is being discussed here.

As far as I understand, in addition to sulfur, you also need a bacterial starter. And I remember from the discussions that it still needs to be "fed" with something. Moreover, the result in the form of calcium sulfate is not inspiring.
