In the guide on pg. 14 somewhere. I kinda thought I misread it, so i re-read it and that is what it said. Did anyone actually do that or did they just soak it for 24 hours.
Thanks

I read it again and it says to heat the RO water to 90 C then let the carbon soak for 24 hours while it cools. Makes sense now.

Was in a rush before, making dinner.

I am going to order my ZEOvit ASAP. Which brand of reactor is everyone using (Grotech, Captive Oceans, Octopus, DIY etc)? Does your reactor have a valve to adjust the flow rate? I think you need to reduce flow initially when starting on a high nutrient system. Any recommendations?
Thanks

I use the Goetech. Yes it has a valve to control flow

I use the Goetech. Yes it has a valve to control flow. I ran it about 1/2 open for the first cycle. Some people put it on a timer and run it 3 hours on then 3 hours off. If you follow this plan ensure that the ZEOlites are continually covered in water. They should not be exposed to air and allowed to dry out.

Jason and Tom:
Just for my clarification are you using the GroTech Zeolith filter ZF110/150 below?

I can't see any value to control flow thru the filter! Where did you get your zeofiliters?

I got my reactor from Hidden Reef. I bought a starter kit for $350. The kit came with the large reactor. It holds 3 litre of ZEOlites.
