Buying a phosoban reactor today, would like some input as to how much flow to push through it and what pump to use?
Thanks

I would use a mj404. You only need to push around 10-30GPH through the reactor. The reactor should come with a valve so you can restrict the flow if you need to.

what he said. just make sure the phos stuff isn't moving around inside the reactor. if it does, it will grind up into a dust and get in your tank.

if you see your corals sliming up, and some brown dust in the slime, that means its in your system.

i gave up on using phosban, and just go with putting carbon inside my reactor. much better results IMO.
 

How much do you care about having a display FREE of wires, pumps and equipment?
