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.

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.

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.
