How dangerous are sulphur denitrators?

I've been trying to convince my boss to carry sulphur denitrators, but he says they are "too dangerous and can kill a whole tank"...

I've read many articles on this in Reef Keeping, etc.... Am I missing something here?

Concerns I am aware of:
Importance of degassing!
Importance of monitoring and maintaining Alk / pH!
Long term threat of sulfate build-up and therefore importance of maintaining GFO to bind up sulfate!

Other than cycling issues, these seem pretty user friendly for someone willing to do a little maintenance, am I missing something in terms of catastrophic threat?

I will be doing a diy but I am certainly not suggesting customers do so as well (liability issues). I have suggested the Koralin models for the store.

THANKS!
Cheree
