not a real fan of these. i would would also go with some type of plant set up. even if its in a sump with a light and some fast growing plants.
I have to dose nitrate INTO my tanks for my plants because they suck up the nitrates so quick. So I third, fourth or fifth plants and WCs.
Good options for removing nitrates are fast-growing stem plants like Hygrophila or anacharis. Their growth, like all plants, is largely dependent on the amount of light available, however. If you're seriously looking into a denitrating filter, do a search for "coil denitrator". Its a type of filter that grows anaerobic bacteria to promote denitrification. However in most cases, plants and/or water changes are a far easier option.
i have a dentor filter but can never get nitrate to stay much lower then 30ppm i allso have sume plants not sure of names
