    Okay, I've added a better video. I'm not sure how to embed a video from photobucket; hints are appreciated.

    I'm excited because this is the hydra reactor and so far I love the thing. I keep having clumping problems and clogging problems on other reactors. This appears to solve them. The tumbling is energetic with not much flow.

    I wonder if its too much for gfo or for carbon. If not, I'll add new reactors for those too.

    You can embed a video by up loading to you tube and once its on youtube, click on the "Share" box and one of your options will be the link to embed the video

    IMO you have too much flow in the reactor, you want to promote anaerobic bacteria to reduce nitrates and phosphates and you do this low oxygen levels. Having a slight tumbling of the pellets on the surface will do this
