SRC Member Melvyn Tan Posted December 10, 2005 Author SRC Member Share Posted December 10, 2005 My sulphur filter is now dripping at about 4-5 drops per sec and i took a measurement about last week and it measures 5ppm of nitrate. It is working hard to remove the nitrates produced by my big angels and fishes. I have a big colony od sps (acropora) procured about 1 month ago (brown with slight green tint) to date it has the green tint almost throughout the branches. The dead exposed skeleton area are all almost rejuvenated by the living tissues. So although not conclusive, but indicative that the sulphur filter is doing its good work and seems beneficial to the coral.

SRC Member framerunner Posted April 13, 2006 SRC Member Share Posted April 13, 2006 If there a need to change the sulphur beads on a periodic basis? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Melvyn Tan Posted April 13, 2006 Author SRC Member Share Posted April 13, 2006 The sulphur will be consummed in the process of denitrification, so periodically will mean 1 year or more. So far have been several months and the media is almost as it is, roughly maybe about 5% used?

alois Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 i have used a sulphur reactor for over 6 years and found them to work very well, very under rated as they are excellent. have your tested your po4 coming out of the reactor?? i found that it removes po4 also.

SRC Member Melvyn Tan Posted April 16, 2006 Author SRC Member Share Posted April 16, 2006 Wah !!! i did no such measurement but was told that it does that function as well - not sure of the theory behind the removal though... But it is a good thing ! Thanks alois for sharing...
