While sulfur and hydrogen can combine to produce a dangerous and unpleasant gas, I don't know if the small amounts added by Equilibrium are at all significant to that process. I am an agnostic as far as that is concerned.
By my estimates, there is approx. 0.57 g of sulfate -- over half a gram -- in every gram of Equilibrium. If one follows the label, raising GH by 3 degrees would require the addition of 16 grams (1 tablespoon) of Equilibrium for every 20 gallons of water. Using the above figure, this would mean that 9 of those 16 grams is sulfate. In my opinion, this is not a small amount.

I do agree, however, that more research on this issue would be desirable, and that it would be interesting to see what Seachem would have to say.
