Nitrate Mini N40 & Midi N100.

Allow 1 drip per 3 seconds till nitrate level reads ‘0’ through the reactor; this will usually take 1-2 weeks to complete. Increase flow to reactor to 1 drip per 2 seconds for a further 1-2 weeks or when the nitrate level again read ‘0’. Increase to 1 drip per second for 1-2 weeks or when the nitrate reads ‘0’.
Following this basis continue to increase the flow rate to its maximum flow of approx. 1-2 litres per hour.  

Set up:

1.	Fit Tee Piece to required pump supply outlet.  
2.	Secure hosing to Tee Piece and then to the inlet (base) of the nitrate reactor (Sulphur, Yellow Beads).   
3.	Vertical position of reactor(s) is required.
4.	Run the exit of the nitrate reactor (Using either tube provided) into the Bottom Hose of the buffer Reactor
5.	Then fit the Hose to the exit of the Buffer Reactor into the Aquarium or Sump.

Note:
    
1.	The above set up stage can be done with or without the buffer reactor. When the two are twinned up, check quality of water coming out the exit end of the buffer Reactor.
2. A Pre filter is recommended. This will collect and stop detritus from entering the reactor, spoiling the efficiency of the Nitrate reactor.
3. The Nitrate reactor may produce nitrates for the initial set up period. We recommend you run the affluent from the reactor into a container rather than run into your system until the reactor begins to mature.
4. Vertical Position of Reactor is required.
5. Check the ph coming from the reactor periodically. If ph is running low, extra buffering maybe required. Run the effluent over coral sand etc to higher ph before entering the aquarium
