Opinions on phosphate reactors...

By in series you mean you only use one pump to feed them? What pump do you use? I've been using a MJ400 but I can't see that having enough gumption to do two.

Yes. It goes: PUMP --> GFO --> CARBON.

The MJ400 has plenty of oomph for this. I actually have it dialed back to about 75% and I have both reactors almost full. It doesn't take much to hit the desired flowed rate. You actually get better results with a slower flow rate because of increased contact time.

Love the TLF reactors, I used one for carbon and one for phosban. Currently I'm trying out zeo so they aren't in use but they rock for carbon

I also used the TLF and it worked great, but I too am seting up Zeo so it's no longer used. However I did use one chamber with a bag of zeocarbon.

I haven't done a phosphate test in a while, ill do one in an hour or so and post my results, but the only kit i have is a cheapo hagen kit so im not sure how accurate it will be.

I have the Zeo test kit, it's like trying to read Hieroglyphics.
so I have no idea what they are. Going to get a http://www.milwaukeetesters.com/MI412.html
soon.
