Comments: This is basically sulfur. Nothing "live" about it. It is a dry product with a lot of fines. I rinsed it in salt water and let it soak with a couple of water changes for two days. Then I put it in my sulfur reactor. It is a good value product and it is working great. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Works excellent. by JASON BARNARD

Comments: On a test 90 Gallon aquarium with approx 200ppm Nitrate (Really high) and 0ppm Nitrite. I used the product in a GEOReef Calcium Reactor. Using about 3/4 Sulfur and 1/4 Aragonite. (I tried smaller quantities and just wasn't getting much result). I started with slow 1 drip per every couple seconds and gradually worked it up by day 3 to a steady fast drip (About 1 cup per 5 minutes). I am getting about 0ppm-5ppm Nitrate and 0ppm Nitrite. At this rate I am processing 20 Gallons a day and project Nitrates to be at about 50ppm after 1 week. Only down side is PH dropped in first day to 7.8 even with drips passing through a collector of additional Aragonite. To counter I had to use a HOT Magnum filter and loaded the Media Cartridge with more Aragonite. That sent my PH back up to 8.1. So make sure you use plenty of Aragonite with this product. Per the instructions this product would work best with 2 seperate reactors. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Very good product by CARL GREEN

Comments: Doing 20% water changes in my 75Gal reef couldn't lower my nitrates so something had to be done. Wanted to try a BioDenitrator but didn't like the price of the devices. Purchased a new dual chamber calcium reactor for $50 and converted it into a slow drip BioDenitrator. So far this product is doing a great job. Currently using about 1 1/2cups of L.S.M. in one chamber and A.R.M. in the other chamber with no effects on my pH. Just after 12 days I saw a drop in nitrates from 28ppm to about 15-17ppm and dropping with no adverse reactions to tank life or smell of sulfur. Thinking of adding a little more L.S.M. in the second chamber w/less A.R.M.. Can't wait to see the long term effects on my tank with using this product. Would also recommend using a pH monitor with this product. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Great

So far so good by J.C.

Comments: LSM is a good product. I used it in a DIY reactor and it works like a charm. The NO3 entering my reactor was at least 5 - 10 ppm, but leaving this unit with low N03 (can be 0 - 1 ppm). I set my drip rate to 2 - 3 drops/second. So far so good, since it is a bit early to really determine if the LSM will block the reactor since the size of the sulfur is small. 1 gallon is enough to handle a big fish load. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.
