So for your tank, how long will that last? 6 months, 1 year. It cost me $60 for a years worth of BRS 2 part. So double that $120. So say yours is...
It has been said.... but if you are running your reactors in series, then the flow through the carbon is irrelavent. The flow through the phosban...
Does not really matter, but the carbon needs to be held in place and can't be allowed to tumble. It will rub itself into powder. Any small pump doing...
