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

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.
