Fauna Marin ultra power phos in a reactor

[wreck]

thank you for the reply, what i was curious about is does a person just have it lightly tumbling? i have never ran a phos ban reactor before. also the instructions are poor . im not sure how much to put in the reactor to start with? i beleive it said 100grams per 50 gallons i think.

We also use it on our systems. We only run enough flow through the reactor so that the surface of the media is lightly "boiling" just like a pot of water on the stove.

The amount you use will mainly depend on your current nutrient levels IMO.

It's impossible to say X amount of media per gallon should be used because we all have different nutrient levels.

If your nutrient levels are high and you use a small amount, it will be exhausted quickly. Test your PO4 weekly and when your phosphates start to creep up, its time to swap out the media. If you want the media to last longer next run, add more. That's how I use it.
