Has anyone ever fed effluent from their sulphur nitrate reactor into their calcium reactor? Seems like it would make sense as the sulphur reactor lowers ph and would help save co2 consumption. Obviously you would have issues balancing the flow of both units to meet your nitrate reduction AND all of the supplementation that the ca rx is responsible for.
Has anyone added some sulphur media to their ca rx for some nitrate reduction?

Thoughts?
 
I fed the effluent into a reactor filled with argonite, but not a traditional CRx. I did have a CRx at the time but wanted to dial that separately. You can see the CRx and the SRx with the second chamber filled with argonite here. Both require independent flow and management, not a good idea, imo.
