Being able to control each chamber individually is very important since carbon and GFO have both different flow requirements and different useful lives. You can shut one off without affecting the other for maintenance as well as vary flows.

For a 150G system you would start out with 7-8 spoonfulls of GFO and eventually work up to 15 spoons over time full dosage if you choose so it does not take much GFO at all. I prefer to run a half dose 24/7/365 as a preventive measure and never ever run the huge quantities BRS recommends unlike EVERY other vendor. I use their products but not their misguided directions.

That explains why I have almost a full reactor of gfo.. Hmm..

10 grams or about one level tablespoonfull per 10 gallons is everyone elses recommendation full dosage. In my mind thats even generous so I run half that amount 24/7 and change it a little more often and everything loves it. Just a little cheap preventive medicine and no bleaching or unhappy inhabitants.
