Finally found some better sulphur media...

Aquarium Obsessed can get the media for the H&S reactors. (pictured above) It's quite a bit more pricey than the caribsea stuff, but there is quite a difference in size/shape.

I don't believe I 'need' better media, but this media would definately be less prone to clogging over time, due to detritus and other floaties such as dust from the tank water getting caught up in the reactor. I would guess that it would reduce the chance of having 'pockets' of stagnant water that may cause the production of H2S as well. (less of a channeling effect) I don't plan to switch to this media quite yet, perhaps a few months down the road once my nitrates are zero... we'll see.
