At the meeting we talked about a good GFO reactor/carbon reactor that I could add to my system but I forgot the name. I think Robert said he could get one from his vendor.
Thx!

You can always use a filter bag and place it by the down pipe in the sump

Installed the TLF 150 today - I'm running 1 part Aquamaxx GFO to 2 parts Aquamaxx carbon. I decided to ease into it in the hopes of keeping my tank as stable as possible, so I started with 1/2 the recommended dose of GFO (in my case about 20 grams of GFO, a little less than a 1/4 cup, then added 1/2 cup of carbon. Adjusted the flow so that the top layer barely tumbles, and now sitting back to watch my water parameters (I did rinse the media in RO, and flushed about 1 gal of tank water through the reactor until it ran clear.

That's good. Did you happen to pack the gfo and carbon down with a sponge? If your running both in one reactor you want to have the medias mixed well and snugged up with a sponge. The reason I say this is cause the gfo with particulate against the carbon. The carbon is much harder than the gfo. The only reason to have the gfo tumbling is for it not to clump. If both medias are mixed well there's no reason for it to tumble :-)
