BRS Dual Reactor ?

HumbleFish · 10/19/2014, 09:36 PM

So I have a BRS Dual Reactor and I have the problem where it clogs up. I was told in another thread that I should actually be running GFO first, GAC last. This contradicts the labeling on the reactor itself, as "IN" is marked next to where it says "Carbon" and "OUT" is marked next to where it says "GFO".

But hey, whatever.

So, do I just switch the chambers... and put my GFO in where it says "Carbon"?

Or do I keep everything the way it is, and just pump the water in through where it says "OUT"?

I have been having the same issue, it was actually addressed in my other thread in regard to my algae issue. I'll grab it and be right back to post it

Th way I've ran GFO and GAC is GFO in the first chamber, then GFO then GAC (separated by a sponge) in the second chamber. GAC is last.

Don't like those reactors.
