I’m redoing my sump and trying to use the XS reactor as I don’t have much space under the cabinet.

My tank and sump is about 130g water volume. The XS spec saying it’s only up to 100g for carbon but it can hold up to 1.6 cups. According to BRS ROX 8 Carbon I only need .81 cups for 130g. So wouldn’t that be plenty of space? Or am I missing something. Same question for GFO. Only up to 60g but only needed 1 cup of carbon for my 130g.

Also, can I use this one for biopellets as the aquamaxx biopellet reactor is doesn’t have a XS. TIA!!!
