here is a pic of the coiled denitrator, one of the most important parts of my set up, nitrates went from over 100 ppm to 0, i checked them today. the only drawback is that it took about 6 months for it to do anything.

Very nice. The curlers are a riot.
That Berlin is kicking butt. What kind of pump do you have on that again?
