I am trying to find out if my new phosphate reactor was installed/ is working properly. I am using ferric oxide granuals and it says on the jar that the "flow should be reduced significantly to avoid tumbling so that the granuals do not get pulverized". Therefore...i have done that, reduced the flow via the valve that came on the intake tube/pump and mine is barely tumbling. Is this correct?
I have been running the new reactor for two weeks and doing water changes every week and my phosphates are still .25 which is where the numbers were when i started thinking about getting a reactor. So no change yet, does it just take a little longer to see results?
Thank you all!
