Any of you guys run a sulfur denitrator?

I have a 200 gallon mixed reef. Trying to get more into sps corals. I have been running bio pellets for some time now and I still can't get my nitrates down to zero. I'm thinking of removing the bio pellets, and making a sulfur denitrator to help with the nitrate problem. But then again, I never read here on the SPS forum that anyone runs one.

I do. Work as a charm. But you need to get the feel of it before it work correctly.

reefslugs biopellets do wonders for nitrate. sulfer reactors are best to run with a orp meter. It can be very tricky to dial it in and dangerous if not used correctly, sulfer does work. Most tanks with high nitrates have sand/gravel that is saturated with detritus etc., and should be cleaned, replaced or removed.
