You're probably right in that I should try a smaller pump, but I figure if I'm going to have to spend money to buy a pump I might as well also try a bigger reaction chamber because the small volume of media is really a wildcard I don't trust anymore. I could try swapping out this reactor for my calcium reactor and make this one a calcium reactor again or I could try to build something. I suppose I could try to find an Eheim 1048 or I wonder if I should just put a 1/2" ball valve on the output of the mag2 and set it to 1/2 or 3/4 to slow down the flow.

Oh well .. I went into this wondering if I could convert "this calcium reactor" into a functional denitrator, .. now I know the answer is "no - not this calcium reactor anyhow (but not to say one couldn't use another one)."

The next thing I want to work on is upgrading my G3 into a meshwheel and reworking the sump. I think it will be an interesting project. Maybe after that I'll look into trying the sulfur again, but for now I'm shelving the idea.
