Key point not discussed here. The volume of carbon that can be kept in the reactor is variable. You can lower the top red o-ring, bracket and sponge inside the reactor to constrain the amount of media that can be accommodated. This is important, because you do not want to have more carbon than needed and you do not want to tumble it, so you want a smaller amount (say 1/2 cup for 100 gallons) fitting snugly between the o-rings, sponges, and white brackets. Not all reactors can do this.

Very helpful information since I’m in the market for a hang on variant.

Can you use this for sand? Id love to just grab a ready to go reactor and place it on my tanks with a fluid sand bed

I think you probably could but you will have to watch the pump power and grain size so it doesn't get flushed through the reactor.

Just ordered one. Have never had one before and had no idea that they came with neither the tubing nor the pump. Zero clue what I'm doing. Any recommendations on what pump to buy for it?

These require very slow flow so get a pump you can control the output on. 50-150gph is fine but it depends on what media your running.

I tried to run GFO using a 324GPH mighty giant pump and the flow was 27 gph out the exit empty just the sponges no GFO. I took the bottom sponge out + 1 cup GFO and got 130 gph. So that bottom sponge really restricts flow. Don't think this would be good for biopellets at all. Carbon GFO only.
