Do I need to recirculate a sulfur denitrator?

I recently set up a large sulfur denitrator on my big fowler tank. It's designed to be a nitrate reactor so it is set up to recirculate.

I have some sulfur and ARM left over, a spare empty Phosban 150 reactor, and a MJ400 so I was going to set one up on my 34 gallon reef tank. The question is: do I NEED to have the water recirculate? I have seen several pictures of DIY reactors, and a lot of them are repurposed crap reactors, phosban reactors, soda bottles, and they don't recirculate.

I guess I can set up a pump to recirculate it, but I don't have much room in the cabinet and the plumbing might get a bit wonky, so if it will still work then I'd rather not.
