    I think I'm going to wait it out for a while. I'm just surprised that they showed up so fast.

    So I started to setup one of my reactors because they shipped the other one without a pump. So I placed the stones in media bags.

    And rinsed them in RO/DI water.

    I then added the stones inside the reactor.

    And now it's in it's final spot. The second reactor will sit next to this one.

    Now the real fun begins.

    Yes. It's part of the basic four.

    As per the zeo heads I made a good choice with the bags but a bad choice also. I had to act like I was mining for gold and had to separate the large and medium stones and keep the smaller ones in the filter bag.

    So here is the new configuration.

    Just curious what the reasoning behinde this..? I am thinking to much flow will make the smaller stones come out and jam things up.? Or just restrict flow all to gether as they settle..
