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 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?
