sulfer reactors

[Sushiman]

Anyone using one? My nitrates vary from 15 -20ppm due to the critter load. I'm thinking of setting up a simple reactor & giving it a go.
Dammit I spelled "sulfur" wrong !@#$%! D'oh!

never used one but a possibilty one day..so far everything I have read states it is a good choice for tanks with heavy bio load.
as for spelling sulphur wrong, it's hard to concentrate looking at Jessica Alba's backside...Darn it all

Hi, I'm new to canreef. I,ve been using a 'midwest' sulphur denitrator for more than 1.5 years. My nitrate level had reduced from >100ppm to 20ppm and that it never reach 10ppm or less than that. To me, for a fowlr tank with heavy bio-loads, I am satisfied with the result.

remember threads here before, here's one, could try a search for others

I would also check out Delphinus prior posts, he used a sulphur reactor for a while too

THANKS EVERYONE! I'll keep everyone updated once I get it up & running.

Any thoughts on ammount of sulfur will work for a system of this size? I'm trying to decide on single or dual chamber reactor.

i was gonna fill up 2 extra phosban reactors and give that a try but havnt really looked into what media to buy for it. if that dosnt work good enough i might buy a big biodenitrator since 100g waterchanges hurt the fish budget

That was my thought, but on a system this small I was wondering if a 50/50 in a single reactor would work. I think I'll start this way, give it three months & go from there.

im doing a sulphur reactor now my nitrates were 40 PPM it went online this morning will test tomorrow and keep you guys informed , however just remember that it wil drop your ALK down around 2.6 Meg/L so you need to watch that while its cycling
