water changes are costly on that saize and would not bring No3 down anyway, because all that junk is stored in live rocks and sand bed.

quote from J&L's site.
Nitrate troubles? Current research shows that sulfur based denitrators hold promise for significant nitrate reduction in heavily bio-loaded systems. These experimental biologically driven de-nitrator/reactors rely on a combination of pure sulfur, aragonite and sulfur reducing bacteria. NO-NO3® is that media.

i also like the sock and the hose water loop trick !

I am thinking of using the LSM . I am just a little scared. I have heard of people stripping their sps.

Would I be best off to build a coil detrinator and put the LSM in there, or just put it in the second chamber of my calcium reactor?

Well i just stripped my best colored SPS lately with ZEO,
I guess the lesson is : follow instruction to the "T’s" and if you go DIY be prepared to some surprises.
As to coil DeNitrator it worked for a lot of people and at the fraction of the cost compare to Sulfur retail unit.
I have never tried any DeNitrator , just reading on CanReef about it.
