I have no measurable nitrite or ammonia in the tank.
good
From all the reading that I have done. 1-2 drops/second is suppossed to be about right.
nope its about right to cycle the unit, but its not best for a running unit. you should of course test the water, and you should NOT make fast changes
The coils are made from appox 75' of .170 ID ice maker tubing (polyethylene). The center of the chamber is filled with Corallife mini bioballs.
sounds like a typical setup should be rated for aprox 75 gallons max (want more power add more coils)
