Sulfur levels in your aquarium:
|
Almost all marine organisms have the ability to convert Sulfur into needed nutrients.
Sulfur in excessive amounts combined with anoxic conditions will lead to the formation
of Hydrogen Sulfide, which can be toxic to organisms. Natural Sulfur levels are
required in your aquarium to help maintain beneficial biological processes.
If your Sulfur levels are too high and you are using a Sulfur denitrator, try adjusting
to a lower flow rate and change your carbon filter after a 20% water change.
A Sulfur denitrator is a denitrification system that incorporates bacteria, which
use Sulfur to convert NO3 (Nitrates) into N2 (Nitrogen). |
