I read your article on sulfur reactors. Some of your info is getting dated and the referenced products aren't available anymore. Aquamaxx is no more. I have 2 of their reactors.

I use sulfur prills in mine. An agricultural product I get from eBay usually. Plus calcium reactor media for Ph control. I mix the sulfur with Seachem Matrix bio media. It doesnt plug and works well.

Dang, times are changing for me too. Now mostly they are called pellets. Solid 1/2 hemispheres of sulfur. .99% pure usually stated.

I didn't know AquaMaxx is no longer. Boo! I liked them.

I believe they were acquired by BRS as part of the Marine Depot purchase. Most of the product lines were discontinued. I got my second TS-3 sulfur reactor from the Marine Depot final clearance sale.

I run 2 inline and when one needs recharged I clean it and place it in second position and the other absorbs the oxygen and inoculates it with bacteria so it starts fast. Your parameters dont change because only a tiny flow ever goes through them.

They are powerful. Mine took my nitrates to zero. I took my eye off the ball for a while dealing with life things. I am dosing nitrates right now.

Don't speak for me ned. I merely stopped engaging i never said it wasn't ai assisted largely

Don't take my word. Take any portion of any manta article and plug into chatgpt and ask it if ai wrote the article


Then go take any section from Randy's articles that you have to read six times to grasp the specific chemistry of it and plug it into gpt and ask:

What does it say? form your own opinions. Ai can audit itself effectively. They check term papers and such in this way.

I stopped engaging because I realized I was the only one who isn't on the train. The whole world is, so give them what they want. Ten articles per day min.

Let the record reflect I'd have never mentioned a single thing further about manta had I not been called out by ned, leave me out of these.

I didn't speak for you.

I spoke about you. I am allowed to have opinions. Sorry if you dont like them. My best advice to you is "Dont poke the bear."
