Got some GHA so I bought the 2 stage BRS reactor. It worked and the GHA is gone, phosphates super low. Now onto the issue of the reactor......
I tumble the top 1" just a little so the surface moves. Within a week of changing the GFO (2 cups at a time which almost fills up the reactor in a 130g total volume system) the whole 2 cups clumps together and lifts to the top of the reactor.
My other frustration with this system is that I bought the recommended pump with it (MJ1200). This is so overkill, that I can barely crack the pump open. And this is while I'm about maxing out the reactors with media.......
Do I need to tumble more? Suggestions?
