DSB Question - Hydrogen Sulfide Spot

Mike Arnold · Jun 20, 2016

I think I originally posted this in the wrong area: http://reef2reef.com/threads/dsb-safe-fish.247373/#post-2997838

Are there any experienced DSB reefers that can offer some insight on this subject?

Thanks

I was going to start a thread so I'll just pump this up.

My tanks showing signs of HS being produced, well I say a sign, it's absolutely recked havoc on my system.

I'm trying to understand Randys article on the subject.

I only noticed its effect when I started using phosphate remover (gfo) and I'm only seeing it becoming soluble once I turn my reactor off, so obviously I've had to keep it on.

Does Phosphate levels effect the solubility of HS? It seems mine only became active once I started lowering the phosphate, now I'm down below 0.05 (which was were I was at before I started the GFO) I can't turn the reactor off as the HS levels start to rise and LPs and clams get really upset
