Sulfur Denitrator - Rinse Media First?

[PopBot16]

I'm starting a Sulfur Denitrator for the first time (Deltec NF90), and I see conflicting info online about whether it's necessary or recommended to rinse the actual sulfur media first. It's Geo's Reef sulfur media, if that matters. If so, any special way? Or just rinse in tap water? TIA!

I cannot see any harm in doing so to remove fines, if there are any.

Thanks, Randy! Will do.

Do you think it makes a difference if I rinse it in RODI versus tap?

Nope. Sulfur itself is insoluble in water.
