i am not sure if i posted my setup before (if id did i am sorry to post again)
I have a mag drive pump with a pvc extention and a small hole to take in the LaCl diluted solution.
Water from tank is sucked in through the pvc along with Lacl solution then into 1st and 2nd chamber for contact and then into 3rd chamber.
This pic is old and does not show the new 3rd chamber mod i made.
in the 3rd chamber the water enters from the top of the chamber runs down tot the bottom then fills up the chamber to get let out through the middle of the chamber. In the center of the chamber i attached 3/4" pipe to outlet so now water enters from top and has to run up the 8 inches of 3/4" pipe and then out the chamber to skimmer. i plug the pipe with floss tightly thus all water has to go through the floss and filter lacl residue there.
ill try to post newer pics as i get a chance.
I did this because previously (like in this pic) i was using 3rd chamber for sediment filter ranging from 5 micron to 25 and i didnt get but 10 days max before water couldnt flow anymore due to plugging of the filter. floss does much better in this setup and doesnt let residue pass through.
Note: after posting pic i realized you can see the pvc pipe in the first chamber, i moved it to 3rd.
i am using 1oz in 1 gal of rodi water, dosing 20ml per week broken down to 5ml everyother day. it is a very small dose and very diluted form and it keeps my tank right at 0-0.01 using Hanna Ultra Low Phos
