Sounds like a denitrafier from dupla or tunse they go back a few years.It works buy moving water threw the unit very slowly,completety contained no lights and use tablets that go into the chamber breeds anerobic bacteria.goes back to the early 80s.

no better and a bigger pain than a skimmer to get working properly, IMO

Unless of course its an algea scrubbing unit but they have been on the market awhile too.

I did hear once of someone claiming to never do water changes, I don't remember hearing about that type of system though--very interesting. Think of it----no water changes, algae to scrape, decorations to clean, cc to vacuum, equipment to swear at or all the other rotten things that make us love this hobby so much. I don't believe it! There's always a catch or some fine print somewhere.
