basically i am thinking of scooting the main tank and putting the sump right where the coil denitrator is and working it from there... again like I was worried about, I dont know if I could pick up the algae around here for it.
the Hexarings were picked up at a LPS called PetBox and they go for... 698 yen.  |

I am having a hard time figureing your flow rate and setup, do you have a rough drawing (a crayon on a piece of paper, and picture taken of it would work for me.. lol) | |

The return pump, skimmer and carbon are on the other half of the tank. And this is where I want to put the coil denitrator. | |

these things are 14mm by 15mm, porous and actually pretty light weight.
if you have a web translator the adress on the bag is NISSO 株式会社ニッソー 〜観賞魚用水槽、電気器具、店舗用什器等の製造・販 売など〜
they are a lot cheaper than bioballs here.. those run 15 bucks for a small box. lol | |
