Do you think my system with dual chambers on to catch particulate matter to keep the main reverse flow deep sand bed clean, will end up being a nutrient sink? I designed it to be a calc reactor/denitrator, with very low flow, It is working very well currently but it is somewhat new.
What do you think about doing a Jaubert system with calcium reactor media for 4 inches and them an inch or two of course sand?
