Yes, to clarify: I'm tumbling.

Well, not personally. But the media in my reactors is ;)

That's verrrrry interesting, Randy. I'm about to DIY a kalk reactor and was planning on using a Maxijet 400 for stirring. Is there something special about your setup that makes stirring unnecessary,...

I'd be careful running both GFO and Purigen in the same reactor. I tried running them in two reactors in series off the same minijet404, and couldn't get the flow right. The Purigen is so light that...

One possibility: pH and dissolved oxygen often drop overnight; those changes could be the straw that breaks the proverbial back of an already declining coral.

I started running Purigen in a reactor (low-flow fluidized; the stuff is so buoyant that high-flow is effectively impossible) about six weeks ago. Two days after I started running it, my BTA...

Can't really give numerical rates, since it depends on how much GFO you put in the reactor. According to Two Little Fishies, the flow should just be enough to have the surface of the GFO 'dance'...

I wouldn't worry about the rust, it's just iron oxide (what Phosban is made of). If there's exposed copper wire inside there, you might be in for some trouble. It couldn't hurt to run some...

If it's one or two, I'd just remove the rock and chip the little buggers off. I've tried all kinds of stuff, from Joe's Juice to epoxying over them and the only sure fire thing I've found is physical...

Avi is spot-on in my experience. I have two reactors on my system (one GFO, the other Purigen), each with it's own Minijet 404. There's no way I can't get by with one, the GFO is so dense and the...

If you do go forward with it, be sure to build in an easy way to prime the siphon overflow -- not many pumps will self-prime in that situation.

Harris Model GP402-50-320 (industrial grade) is highly regarded, and isn't much more expensive than the high-end hobbyist stuff.

I loved mine, but sponges took hold in between the pipes and the whole colony just sort of fell apart. Sucked.

GFO should last longer than a month (3 or more...) so yes, monthly changes are quite wasteful.

Thanks for the info -- the only negative I've seen is a slowdown in my chaeto growth, but I'll definitely be keeping an eye on the coral.
