i ordered a cheap reactor on Amazon and they accidentally sent me 2. so i started running bio balls and carbon. my cheap skimmer kicks ass now and my water is crystal clear
Some medias can be mixed, but not all. A common one is to mix carbon and GFO. Usually 2 parts carbon to 1 part GFO and mix the particles up so that the carbon separates out the GFO particles.
@@BRStv Does it have similar method has RO system carbon where if you stop using carbon for some time, it will regenerate(heard it from one your video about RODI syste)
If you're running those medias, you'll want to run the water flow through the reactor 24/7. Especially for GFO. If you turn the pump off for a prolonged period of time, the GFO media will solidify.
Please never use those special effects again. Felt like a college student just discovered the effect and decided to coat the entire video in it. Super distracting and felt very unprofessional.
The term reactor is absolutely no different to the basic premise of a nuclear reactor. Both of these reactors are just an exchange mechanism, with nuclear using the heat from a nuclear source to create steam and these reactors using specific media to create an effect for adding or removing things from the system.
Good video, the "glitchy" edit was kind of weird though.
Yeah they went a little overboard with the transitions
Yesss give me all the gadgets!!! Man this hobby has an endless array of awesome gadgets!
WOW, great 👍 information in this video BRStv. 👍🏴
Thank you thank God some one smart and easy explanation for a person like me thank you

We need these mini reactors in the uk. We can only get the large ones
I can confirm. I live in the UK and I have a large one. Fnarr Fnarr.
Yes I have the double one but u can't get the half size ones it's a shame really because I think they would do really well if they had both sizes
Is it okay for carbon to tumble?
Is it possible to add multiple or different Medias to one reactor? Or does each type of media have to have its own
Lot of people add zeovit with gfo or carbon with gfo. But not biopellets with gfo for example

What is the best time frame to run the carbon reactor?? Couple hours?? All day?? Morning. Night day time??
When running carbon in our aquariums, we'll run it 24/7
I too run it 24/7 w/o issue...

And limestone reactors and over-reactors!
Are you supposed to continuously run carbon/GFO?

Brilliant video but the effects made it feel more like the Blair witch project....
Once you buy your first reactor it all makes sense haha

Great info. Appreciate the info. But slow down. I feel like you're talking a mile minute.
The “glitch” type transitions were nothing short of annoying and distracting. Can we not do that again?
That’s why u don’t mess with large tank
A small tank can get away with just a bag of carbon
jezus why is this man screaming as much, sounds like one of Randys earliest video's lol. Time to start selling in the EU BRS!
Probably be a better market if they went Europe wide, rather than just the EU block.
This video style is annoying in several different ways.
