Principle of the Sulfur Reactor for Marine Aquariums

A sulfur reactor is a device used in marine aquariums to reduce unwanted levels of nitrates and phosphates. It relies on the process of biodenitrification, where anaerobic bacteria use sulfur as an energy source to convert nitrates into harmless nitrogen gas.

Benefits of the Sulfur Reactor

The benefits include an effective reduction of nitrate and phosphate levels, thereby helping to maintain a healthy environment for corals and fish in the marine aquarium.

Protocol for Starting the Sulfur Reactor

Step 1: Preparing the Reactor

• Place the sulfur reactor in an appropriate area of the aquarium, preferably in the filtration section.
• Fill the reactor with a sulfur substrate specially designed for this process. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions for filling.

Step 2: Connecting to the Water Circuit

• Connect the reactor to the aquarium's water circuit. Ensure that the water flow passes adequately through the reactor.
• You can adjust the incoming and outgoing water flow to optimize the biodenitrification process.

Step 3: Priming the Reactor

• Activate the reactor and let it run. The anaerobic bacteria necessary for biodenitrification will gradually develop in the sulfur substrate.
• It may take a few weeks for the reactor to become fully operational and start reducing nitrate and phosphate levels.

Step 4: Monitoring and Adjustments

• Regularly monitor nitrate and phosphate levels in the aquarium using appropriate test kits.
• If the levels are not reduced as expected, adjust the water flow through the reactor or check the sulfur substrate to ensure it is in good condition.

Step 5: Maintenance

• Periodically clean the reactor following the manufacturer's instructions.
• Replace the sulfur substrate according to the manufacturer's recommendations to maintain the efficiency of the biodenitrification process.
