The 8.5 part is totally wrong... Since you get the black tip to 1.0 the volume on reagen that you draw in is 1.0.. it doesnt matter what the reagen is reading ( 8.0/8.5/7.0) but what matters is the volume to be at 1.0... I hope i explain it fine ..

I watched this and the installation video. I like the idea of using bags so you can run two medias. If you used a sleeve slightly smaller in diameter than the tube to hold the bags in place, or installed a third plate, so there would be one at the top AND bottom of your 3/4 PVC extension pipe, do you think you could also run bio pellets in the leftover space?

Billy, you initially had this on the bottom of your fuge and then switched to placing in filter bags because you wanted water to flow THROUGH IT. Matrix instructions show to put in canister filter or drip technique which to me is usually lower flow. Where did you get info on HIGHER FLOW? I am debating on placement. Either in DRAIN area sump because of high flow or inside reactors where I can control the flow. What do you think? IF I put in reactors, how much GPH is IDEAL?
@BillyPipes 8 ай бұрын
The flow rate doesn't matter. As long as water is flowing through it and not around it. And canister filters are usually a high rate
