Product Questions
The input at the bottom of the reactor can be plumbed with PVC instead of the included barbed fittings. You could adapt the output from the fixed barbed fitting back to PVC with some additional fittings from us or the local hardware store! :) Hope that helps!
I am thinking the GFO will pass right through the strainers.
It does work pretty well. The reactor is an upflow design so the GFO is generally being pushed away from the strainers. When the power is off or your unloading its not unusual for a little to fall below but it doesn't hurt anything there and really nothing to worry about.
A mid range pump would do the trick here. Something with 300-500gph of flow with a bit of power assuming your not running the tube 40ft or anything unusual. The danner mag drive 5 or the sicce syncra 2.0 would both be great choices.
There isn't any reason you couldn't though most medias would be best served just placed in the reactor without a bag.
