2 phosban reacters

Scouter Steve · 09-15-2007, 07:23 AM

I just ordered two phosban reacters and media to help with a small cyano problem I am having. This is a 325 gallon system and I am wondering should I plumb them one after the other or both with seperate inputs. Supply is going to come from my return pump (throttled way back of course).

Ps I am doing everything else I have heard of to eliminate this Cyano, Ro/Di, flow, new bulbs, fuge(where most cyano is now!)

Plumbing seperately would be more efficient, I think, since you'll be doubling the amount of water passing through the reactors. If you were running two different media, inline would be good. Inline with the same media would just remove any remaining phosphates that pass through the first reactor, which generally isn't much.

That was my thought....As always looking for confirmation. Thanks.

What Anselth said makes sense.
