hey guys I've been try to find info on this but can't. i know that sulfur reactors work wonders in SW reef tanks to control Nitrates. wouldn't this be a great unit to install on FW stingray tanks if you want to cut down the water usage? correct me if I'm wrong or if this is something any of you have experience with. my system is running A1 with no problems at all but thought it would be interesting to be able to cut down the volume of water needed for my auto water changes. thanks
 
Will be neat to hear responses but nothing is better then fresh clean water.

Silent Bob predicting a argumentative debate? i always seem to post those type threads. i don't mean to I'm just curious.

I also believe that fresh clean water is best but I'm sure a sulfur reactor could help greatly? no?

I am definitely not looking for an argument. This thread just reminds me of a recent post about calcium reactors and ray tanks. I guess I just feel that the most basic filtration setups are the best. Why overcomplicate things?

What is your reason behind wanting to prolong time between water changes?

I like the idea but water is overall cheap and easy to change. And as said simply works great. The money and time spent on such stuff can be put into an auto drip system and water. But still as im playing with a reef now ill take a look at one to see what they are all about

I use the KISS principle. Unless you are having a specific issue and looking for a solution, I wouldn't start messing around. Always seems the one adding / subtracting / messing with the water ends up having problems with their rays. Having a drip system reduces you maintenance time tremendously, so water changes shouldn't be an issue. If you had high nitrates in your source water, that would be an entirely different storey and I could see the need to find an alternative way to reduce nitrates. That being said, I am curious about the concept if anyone has experience.
 
i could see this topic becoming heated. hope not.

no i dont want to prolong time between Water changes as i have auto water changes. in my case i have Hard well water with very high KH that i mix 50% of with 50% RODI but there is so much waste water from the RODI to produce the water I'm making. i mind how much waste water there is because my home water softener uses special salt to soften my water and that gets used up fast when producing RODI water. im mixing 50-50 because the KH out of tap is ridiculously high and im not sure how KH at that level affects rays long term.
 
After reading a bit on the reef side of things they take constant work and effort and can effect ph and also add allot of sulfer build up into the tank. Sounds like allot of work to me.
