Because it binds with the calcium, thus keeping it
in the water, but it also keeps the corals from
taking it out of the water. :-)

I did some experimenting with putting granulated sulfur in a bag in the

a great job of raising both the calcium levels, and the alkalinity levels.

Huh? Why would sulfur increase Ca levels? I've heard of Nitrate
reactors running the effluent through Ca material to reduce acidity
which would release some Ca. I think that was because of a high load of
CO2 and HS.
