    Slow, from what I've seen. 30-50 gph. Mine is coming with a MaxiJet 400 that will need to be turned down - most have ball valves included to do so.

    I just bought one of these yesterday - going to put the media in today and fire it up. Hopefully there's good results!

    I have the phosban 150 like luna said on the 1st page. While I have not had it long, it's works great. I did not use the hose connectors that came with it. I added some "real" hose clamps, because I never trust anything not to leak.

    I connected mine off of the return from one of my pumps. my return is done with PCV, so I put in a "T" and added a shut off valve, then a hose barb connection. My current flow us pretty low, I have a flow meter on it, but that does not really work that welll for such low volumes. From what I read you do not what the media toubbeling too much or will be grind itself into "dust". so I just adjusted it so I see some flow, but it's not crazy.

    Seams to be pretty much a set it and forget it.
