You might want to do some proofreading.

An example:
Quote: "A phosban is a tube filled with carbon or phosphate removal media,with a small pump to push the water through the tube."

I think you mean "A reactor is a tube....", no? IMO, the the word "cylinder" might be more accurate too. But that's just my opinion. The point is...how you convey your knowledge is just as important as the knowledge itself.

I noticed some spelling errors, too.

Also, a Ca reactor maintains Alkalinity as well.

HTH and cheers,

Lol I didn't refer to it as a reactor because well it is a tube and phosban are cheap figured it would be clearer than calling it a reactor but thanks for the pointer Also I didn't think too many newbies would be running over 100gallons so I didnt go into detail but again thanks for the pointer.
I added a little info about the cycle in response to an earlier post.
And I will use spell check next time lol thnx
I think that about covers it,please keep the feedback coming

Not clearer in my mind. Quite the opposite. Phosban is a type of media that goes in a reactor, not the reactor itself. Yes, there is a "Phosban Reactor", but that is made by the same people that make the Phosban media. Clever marketing. Most people refer to the specific "Phosban Reactor" as just that, even if they are not running Phosban in it. Bottomline is a reactor is a reactor whether it's homemade or made by Two Little Fishies. What the reactor is used for is when you get into different types, ie: carbon; RowaPhos; Ca & Mg; Nitrate; and yes...Phosban.

Like I said...how you convey your knowledge is just as important as the knowledge itself.

Cheers,
