Better build a donovan's nitrate destroyer, mine still works and the most expensive and not priceless thing was a dispenser for the vodka.

Got any pics of how you made yours? I've been considering making one

I've been running with LSM in a Aquamaxx T2 for about 2 years now. Does the media ever need to be replaced? Does it require maintenance at all? So far I've been able to keep my nitates < 5ppm, but I'm starting to wonder about maintenance. TIA

 

[ReeferBud]

I only rinse the media when it gets clogged with mulm.

I've been using the same media for 3-4 years. I don’t know that it ever needs to be replaced.

I wanted to bump this thread from 3 months ago. Anyone have success finding this media? I’m converting a Korallin Calcium Reactor to a Biodenitrator and have everything ready to go but the media. Is there anything special about the media sold for this particular unit? I see that I need 2000 g of sulfur pellets, can I source these from somewhere else? I’ve found 99.9% pure sulfur pellets on eBay. I’ve never used a denitrator before so I’m not sure how to go about this. I’m also not sure why there seems to be such a sulfur shortage.

I just bought my reactor and waiting for it to arrive. Marine Depot is going out if business as BRS bought them. It's all 40% off right now as supplies last. Here is a link to their sulfur.

You can buy the reactor with the sulfur on their site as well.

Ok never mind the sulfur us out of stock now. Looks like they have 3 left of the reactor with sulfur provided still... https://www.marinedepot.com/korallin-biodenitrator-w-eheim-pump

I bought a bag of the tiny Sulphur pellets (round beads) off Amazon before I ended up getting the Korallin kit that came with them; I ended up using the ones that came with the kit, but frankly the ones off Amazon look fairly identical. I bet they would work just as well.

 

[Bam327]

It’s weird. I can’t find any in stock from any aquarium vendor of any brand. The stuff on EBay seems to either be for horses, snake repellent or gardening. I will buy that if I can get someone to tell me it’s ok.

 

[JumboShrimp]

Wow. These are no longer available on Amazon. I’d be careful of the ‘snake repellent’ ones— they seem to list ‘essential oils.’ I’m pretty sure you need it to be pure— not leaching oils into your tank!

No the sulfur prills will not require any maintenance unless they get clogged up with mulm. Which can happen depending on reactor and re-circulation rate. If you do take the media out to rinse it, exposing the bacteria on the media to oxygen will kill them. So you will need to approach it as a cold restart when you put the media back in.

As for replacing the media, it will all eventually be consumed by the bacteria. It takes a long time though. So it is hard to notice it occurring. To offset the consumption, you normally just top up the media with fresh prills and leave the existing ones in to eventually be fully consumed.

Would these sulfur prills be safe to use?

Pure Sulfur Prills for Plants, Crops & Fish Tanks (99.5% Purity)

Pure Sulfur prills contain 100% sulfur (the purest source) and contains no fillers or additives. The result: higher quality plants, crops, and flowers with more vigorous growth and increased yields.

Those look fine to me. The purity would be the only thing to consider, and those claim a high purity.

How much media do I need? It is sold by the pound but seems to be used in the reactor by volume.
I just got a TS-2 from Marine Depot.
To determine how much sulfur media you need, you should multiply your total system gallons x .006
In my case then
400 x .006 = 2.4 liters

 

[Johnny Anderson]

Lol heres what I found:

Can you send me the link to the sulfur pellets, i cant find them on Amazon.

Thanks in advance.

As for replacing the media, it will all eventually be consumed by the bacteria. It takes a long time though.

once the NO3 levels of the incoming water are zeroed out the bacteria will start consuming the sulfur and it will deplete very quickly. once your system reaches <2ppm, it's best to take the reactor offline.

 

[pjduck33]

It's pointless. Always unavailable... like there's a world shortage of sulfur or something....

Search for granular sulfur or elemental sulfur pellets. The pellets are also commonly used as a soil amendment. Here is a link:

[Randy Holmes-Farley]

FWIW, I'm nota big fan of sulfur denitrators. They can work fine to lower nitrate, but deplete alkalinity quite a bit, disrupting the use of balanced alk and calcium dosing systems.
