ceastman Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I currently have a single brs carbon reactor with a mesh bag of phosguard. My dual brs carbon gfo reactor just showed up, how can I switch over without throwing the tank out of balance with too much carbon and phosphate removal?

+BobcatReefer Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Tagging along here as I have a BRS dual reactor ready for my new tank but am curious at what point to start running it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jestep Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I'd switch your existing media to the new reactor. If you are planning on running both chambers with PO4 media, start with roughly 1/2 the recommended amount and alternate replacing media so you basically have a 2 week overlap and never are replacing all the media at the same time. I'm currently using 4 reactors. Each one has GFO for a month but they're all on a schedule a week a part. Doing it this way reduces the bouncing PO4 that you get with a single reactor when the GFO is exhausted and replaced all at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
