Psyire, glad to hear it's working. Just be careful with the bacteria if you ever dose when it's attached to the system. When I first started my denitrator (used Seachem de*nitrate at the time prior to switching to sulfur), I used Seachem Stability to kick-start it. I added the amount recommended over seven days, but I added it directly to the denitrator. Apparently the bacteria loved the conditions in the sump (after passing through the denitrator) because it grew into a huge "snot" mass. I had to clean out the sump and flush all of my line (return, skimmer, chemical reactors, etc.).
