![]() My flow is constant at around 25 gallons. It that OK or do I need to turn it down more due to constant flow.
I am really not giving it a good shake right now because I need more hose length and I am going to get leaks in poor hose conections. Putting a different reacor in a sump and using a form of internal agitation would be much better. In that case a DYI reactor would be more feasable. Ted.

![]() I have yet to find any details on how to make one self contained. I have seen a couple of them but can't figure on how they have the agitation handle work and sealed so there are no leaks.

![]() You shouldn't need to have the handle seal if the drain at the top of the reactor is lower than the top of the reactor...well, assuming the drain hole doesn't plug up...

![]() My current setup is sumpless and I would like to have the reactor below the tank in the cabinet, so from how I figure it, it would need to be sealed. I suppose the other option is to build a sump or have it hanging on the back of the tank. For now I am going to add more tubing and improve my contections to the phosban reactor, see how that works.
