Thanks, & keep us up to date while you're in Afghanistan (watch your a$$ & come back smilin'). Who's tank sitting for you while you're gone?

I am also concerned about my nitrates and was just looking into a sulpher reactor, when I discovered some sulpher media you can put into your calcium reactor. http://www.jlaquatics.com/phpstore/s...ategory_ID=152
Have you ever heard of this?

YUP. this is the media(s) I will be using.

Doug here on Canreef will be watching my tank for me.

I skimmed through this thread, and my understanding is that it works. And it works well in a short amount of time as long as you have enough media, and set to only 1 drop per second.

This seams weird as you would think it would take forever to turn a 400 gallon system 1 drop a second. Not to mention the little bit of recurculation a person will get.

I have been running one for ~2 years now and can tell you that it works fantastic, but admittedly a bit frustrating to start. My Nitrates remain at 0. The only bad thing is rigging it out for a cleaning every 6 months....oh that putrid sulfur smell. :p
