Gonna Run a Phosban reactor filled with Carbon

How much carbon should I put in it and what kind of flow do I want running thru it?

This is a new frag tank I'm setting up. I think its about 80 gallons total water volume.

Thanks,
Chris

i fill about halfway with carbon, and run about 100 gph or more through it, enough to keep it dancing

IMO nope.... I would use a quality carbon such as Black Diamond ESV etc... use about a cup per 100 gals and as mentioned a enough flow to keep it tumbling.
