  Do You rinse granular GFO before putting in the reactor?

  Bulk Reef Supply Hey David,
  You do want to rinse the GFO, but there is a couple of different ways you can do it. Some people rinse it ahead of time. Personally I find it easier to just put the gfo in the reactor, point the output of the reactor to a bucket, turn it on and let it run into the bucket until it rinses and runs clear.

  How much does one need to use for a 150G tank with a 30G sump?

  Bulk Reef Supply Hey Allen,
  For a tank that size you would be looking at about 2.75 cups of the gfo.

  what is the reccomended flow through the GFO in a media reactor?? Is 150gph too much or too little?

  Bulk Reef Supply Hey Jeremy,
  Its really less about the number of gallons and more about the movement. Your looking for the least amount of flow that just slightly tumbles the media. How much flow that is depends on how much media, etc is in there. Usually your looking for a 300gph pump to have enough power to push through the media, though the actual flow rate will usually be a lot less.
