Phosban Reactor

[Burbs]

i currently have a TLF phosban reactor with phosban in it and i want to add another one with carbon in it. first question is can i run both off my maxijet4? 2. if i can how should i run it? from pump to phosban to carbon or the otherway around? also what carbon should i use?

Use a T and control the flow that way..Use 2 valves. You need to gently tumble the phosban with light flow but would need more flow threw the carbon..

didnt even think about doing it that way thnx for the suggestion.

I agree--but i use separate minijets on each

I use black diamond carbon--its got a good reputation

Its good to use two reactors because the carbon should be changed every two to three weeks while the phosban can go a couple of months(depending on the level of phosphates in the tank)
