denitators usually have either a chemical reaction chamber to remove nitrates (which I know next to nothing about) or a large coil - like 45 feet worht of tightly packed coils - that feeds into a filter medium that then slowly drips out back into the sump sans nitrate. The idea is to remove all of the oxygen from the water and have it go through bio balls or some other bacteria filled media to remove the nitrates and have it drip back into the sump/main tank ....
just theorizing - and PlumRT might know more about hte chemical kind - but if it is the coil kind you would need to getsomething into the coil kind to get a cycle started in there so you could get he anaerobic bacteria started .... just a thought though

sounds like he has a coil type .... from the size and the description
Do a google search on denitators and you will see plenty of coil options ... it wil lexplain it very well!
