    Really? Bacteria will clog it? But I was also told that two singles are better than one dual.

    Yup, isn't it great? ;D

    That's why we used mesh instead of sponges. There are many reports of bacteria from the BPs clogging sponges inside reactors. I would think the same would happen to the carbon side of a dual reactor.

    It's awesome, again, thanks for the idea!

    I thought the consumed pellets get smaller and smaller and clog the sponge. Either way, clogging is not what anyone wants.

    ^Thanks! It's been more than 24 hours, still tumbling nicely. I should shoot some vid, I guess.

    I would be cautious running carbon in those circumstances. That's a really high flow rate for carbon.

    You mean run dual reactors? ?? I have two single reactors: GAC run by MJ900, BP run by MJ Utility 1100.
