Flow though zeovit
Hey Albert,
Just checking to make sure I am getting this right. The manual for the Zeovit system says to have max of 100 gallons per hour for each liter of rocks used. Since I am using 1/3 of a liter I have to keep my flow down to less than 33 gallons per hour. Ted.

OK, thanks.
Shaking my phosban reactor is going to get old quick. What is the smallest zeo reactor I can get that is self contained - ie not needing a sump? Ted.

Or, what is the smallest one that you carry that is for in sump, and cost. I am looking at putting in a small sump.

Remember, when you start using Zeo you need to lower your flow to a 1/3 or run it @ 3 hours on 3 hours off.

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.
