Does anyone recommend a Nitrate Filter

[shrimpie]

Considering a nitrate filter. Does anyone have feelings/experience. Worth the investment? Doing weekly water changes of 20/25 gallons on a 95 gallon reef aquarium. Thanks for your thoughts.

Not a very popular option. What kind of set up are you running? (reef, fish only...)

Most people are able to manage nitrate (at least in reef tanks) pretty effectively using good husbandry supplemented by refugims and or some form of organic carbon dosing (not to be confused with activated carbon filtration).

Nitrate filters are tricky and require constant fiddling. Like John said, refugiums or carbon dosing are better ways to go. I tried a sulfur reactor years ago an it was a nightmare. It worked but it required adjustments several times a day.
