Its pretty much vodka dosing. The bacteria colony is housed in that canister. I haven't used it. Seemed too pricey for what it is.

So it's a nitrate reactor using anaerobic bacteria. I've used the sulphur denitrators for years now. For a tank with a high bioload, they aren't the best. Even the set up page said to keep doing water changes if your levels are over 40ppm.

If you've got a fowler or a bunch of fish, this will help, but I'd be surprised if you could maintain nitrates below 10ppm. For a medium to low concentration of fish, then go for it.
