Installed PhosBan Reactor| to much flow?(video)

mal7887 · 04/09/2012, 07:04 PM

Ok so installed a PhosBan Reactor 150 today on my 120 reef along with PhosBan media. It seems the "tumble rate" is subjective. Can someone review the video and give me input? Thanks in advance.

Personally I think the flow its to fast. If you tumble to fast it grinds the material up into a powder.
I set flow to where only a few grains tumble.

Your mileage may vary.

I agree. I flow mine so that the surface is just slightly rolling. IMO, dial your flow back until the sides of the GFO are no longer tumbling.

Yes I don't run mine that fast, slow it down some!
