Phosban reactors

[nyfynest22]

im setting up a 220 tank, and want to run phosban reactors. can i put phosban median and carbon media in one? or do i need to get 2 seperate ones to run each media?

 

[nyfynest22]

come on guys anyone/

seperate in each reactor

Chemipure elite is GFO and carbon in one. It depends if you change them at the same time it wouldn't matter. But if you have the space then use them seperately.

Also if you speak to LongIslandAndy he knows a reactor with seperated chambers to run both in one reactor.

Jimmy, similar to the NextReef reactor in this link?

I would run 2 seperate reactors (1 tube with carbon and 1 tube with phosban) as they each need different amounts of flow. The higher flow needed for carbon may break up your phosban into dust.

+ 1 on diffrent flows needed

 

[nyfynest22]

thanks so much guys.

+1 different flow rates.

There was a thread about different GFO and there was a product more resistant to becoming dust.

so carbon can take alot of flow where poshban you want to restrict it some what?

Yeah flow in phosband is very little turn over
I have a extra Phosband reactor laying around if you want to buy it,LMK

Wow- nice reactor E=Russ- the oen Andy told me about it was actually one chamber with a divider to run both- BUT when you change one you have to change both- I like the NextReef you posted a lot. Is noce with the 2 combined- and actually may call you for one myself-- there ya go ny give swimmer a call

you can also check out reactors and media from http://www.bulkreefsupply.com

Not to mention that the 2 medias need to be changed at different intervals. I believe the phosban last longer then the carbon, therefor when you run them together in the same reactor you end up wasting your money when you throw out the phosban along with the carbon when the carbon is exhausted.

Those two reactors look really cool. But it doesnt look like you can change one with disturbing the other. Great if you change them at the same time but kind of a PIA if you dont.
