Sulfur denitrators have been around for a long time. There are so many ways of reducing nitrates such as algae scrubbers, macro algae, deep sand beds, carbon dosing, bio pellets, etc. The key is finding what works best for you.

That's a great way of looking at it Marc.

That would be course aragonite media used in calcium reactors. The sulfur will bring down the ph, but placing the aragonite media on top helps buffer it.

Must be some potent drops. :D

Always a pleasure E. I think I'm due for a visit to "The Shed" one of these days.

I've dosed carbon (vodka/vinegar) for a while now with varied success to keep nitrates in check. Based on some friends in the hobby recommendations, I thought I'd try a H&S sulfur denitrator to help control nitrates. I'm starting off at a drip per second and will adjust accordingly. I'll report...

On auto pilot E. ;)

+1 on oversized sump. I converted a 125 tank into a massive sump I designed for a 250 gal reef. It has (from left to right) a return section, huge skimmer section, fuge, & a fresh water section hooked up to ato.

Hi Erin....good to see back at BAR.

I've actually used FRP on the floor of my sump area. I caulked the hell out of the seems and it has held up great for me.

I would recommend using FRP. You can find it at Lowes or Home Depot. Easy to install and clean up.

Hey John, Sorry for the late reply. As you may know socks need to be rotated frequently and can be a nitrate factory if not. The vortex filter is great for polishing the water when needed. It can also filter out much smaller particles than filter socks. My friend Lance Ichinotsubo uses them on...

I used it on my 450...worked as advertised. Also heard good things about Fritz cycling bacteria.

Good line up of speakers!

Mike, Please put me down for a piece.

Yes....under the right conditions.

I can make quite a few frags of this pink and lavender cespitularia I got from Shu Tin. It's easy to keep and does well with a well lit tank and good flow.

Next time try Natural Life in SSF.

Sounds good.

I dose LC (SeaKlear brand). 5ml in a 1 gal jug over a period of a few days. It has kept phosphates at 0.25 or less. As mentioned above be careful because it is potent stuff. I have 4 zebrasomas, many other tangs, and two angels with no I'll effects.
