How do you keep your media moist, I know they say put a teaspoon of water in the reactor but my humidity is crazy low in the aprt right now so I’m afraid that won’t work for long and I hear the media gets used up fast if you run really dry air through it.

I heard someone say they put the input hose into their skimmer cup to draw that air since it should be very moist. I’m considering this or creating a little reactor to put in the input that draws air through water first to add moisture to it.

At first I didn’t but now I do. As I added more tanks my sump has just become way to cluttered with plumbing all over.

Does it produce much heat? My H380 makes a lot of heat

I don’t feel it puts off much, but mine isn’t enclosed under a sump.

I’m looking now for my fuge light now for my new system. This could work great. How many hours a day do you run this. In my current system I run my fuge light 24/7. Not sure I would be comfortable running this all the time [emoji91] [emoji91] [emoji91].
