I can't quite tell if I'm being poked fun at or not here?
My sulfur reactor hasn't cycled yet, so one could say it's not working yet. I'm trying the sulfur reactor out of exasperation at a problem that just otherwise won't correct itself. If it's not the right thing to do, then time will tell me that, but I thought it was a viable option to try, given that alternate but more conventional means of nitrate control were proving unviable for me. And I went DIY because a consumer version would have been about $500 to purchase which was simply unreasonable, whereas my costs for DIY are less than one-tenth that. I know some people really have a DIY bug and my hat's off to them, I mostly DIY out of economic reasons.
And FWIW I started the sulfur reactor before the surge of people wanting to try coil denitrators came (seems to me that's just the last two weeks or so). Hey if a person wants to try something, let them at it. If we can add to the collective body of experience I think that's a good thing. I've talked to people about denitrators before but those that I've talked, whom have tried it, don't seem to come on here and share their gems of wisdom and experience. So it's up to us instead.
I don't see anything wrong in trying new things. But like I said in the thread about complex tank setups, I don't think a person should do *anything* just because someone else is doing it ... a person needs to be convinced, by themselves, that doing something fits a particular and specific purpose.
