Steve's 480g upgrade 730g total Zeovit system

[Jflip2002]

1" in your tank is roughly 20 gallons. So 20 gallons in 2 hours, is 10 gallons an hour, which is 240GPD. So thatd take it two days, without the rock displacement, plus that HUGE sump, lol. But Im sure its just a guestimate, as far as the 1" goes (could be more). So its close enough. Either way, it'll take no time in the long run. My "100 gpd" AquaFX Barracuda takes about 24 hours to fill up my 55g drum. Im not sure whats up with that, Im at 80 PSI IRRC.

Looking good! I may have missed it, but did you leak test with tap water first?

The Zeovit reactor house Zeolith rock which helps remove nutrient. You can get more info on Zeovit system from Zeovit.com.

As for the Breakers i can only max out at 70 amps which i think is plenty for my system and the house use. I will talk to the landlord to let me up grade it to 100 amps.
