Submitted by wiszmaster on Tue, 2008-05-20 21:19.Steve,
Here are some of the specs on sulfur ...
1.5 Liter of media will be good for up to 250 Gal of water.
1.5 Liter of media = 3.3 Lbs of media (1.5 x 2.2 = 3.3)
Looks like you have a 90 Gal + 75 Gal sump .. say you have 135 Gal total volume
135 Gal would call for approximately .81 L of media = 1.8 Lbs of media. That would allow you bring the flow through the reactor to as high as 5.4 Liter /hour (effluent) .. thats ~ 1.5-1.6 Gal /hour .. that would turn your tank's volume over every 85 hours .. every 3 1/2 days.
Hope this helps a little.

Submitted by wiszmaster on Tue, 2008-05-20 21:42.Here is my setup:
15 lbs of Media = 6.8 Liter of media.
with the media, my reactor could be rated for as much as 1,100 - 1,200 gal system.
I'm currently running 18 Liters of water through the unit .. thats about 2.6 x the flow to media ratio ... up to 5 times is quiet OK as per original experiments conducted by Marc Langouet.

this is the reason for why you should run a PRE-FILTER to the sulfur reactor ... this one used to be WHITE .. about a month & 1/2 ago.
