I used a coil denitrator for several years. Did not like it and debated about 3 months ago as to how to control nitrates.

Decided to do try mangroves and macros, Nitrates is not 0 but thus far I have not needed to clean my glass nor is there unwanted matter growing on the rock.

i'm using my diy denitrator for more then one year and i'm very very happy one of the best investments i ever did to my reef not to much just around 100$ my nitrates are always 0

I guess I should add that when I had a coil filter I also has a HOB overflow box and I got tired of sucking water to create flow for both the wet dry overflow and the gravity coil filter.

I lost interest in the coil due to the work I had to put into it every time I changed water.

I have been using a sulphur Denitrator, for over 6 months now, my nitrates were always hovering around 20-30 ppm, now that they run around 5-10 ppm, here is a great read on a diy that got me going with it.
