BRS reactor

[joe0813]

I have the smaller BRS reactor for carbon and GFO. I haven't ran GFO in it in a long time. When you put in the GFO into the canister do you use the sponge on top? I know carbon you do but no sure about the GFO since you want it to tumble.

I would probably stick with using the sponge-- and achieve the degree of 'tumbling ' needed by adjusting the amount of media used (i.e., not packed too tightly).

re-visting this since I still cant get my GFO to tumble in this thing. I tried a less GFO and it just floats right up to the sponge anyways. Ive tried changing the flow through the reactor, slower, faster still same outcome. The whole clump just floats right up to the sponge within a week. I had no issues with my Two little fish reactor but I sold it when we moved.
