new BRS canisiters, run GFO without sponges?

[astroboy]

Hello,

 

I bought one of the new BRS canisters for their carbon/GFO reactor. According to some reviews on the BRS site, you can run the BRS GFO without using sponges. Since I can't get the GFO to tumble with sponges, that's interesting.

 

I've posted a question to the BRS site three times about this, but it doesn't show up.

 

Is there anyone in WAMAS who knows if its possible to run the high density BRS GFO pellets in their reactor with the new canister without sponges?

 

Thanx!

If you're referring to the dual reactor..........It's my understanding that the sponges are to be used with carbon, per their video.

Thanks.

 

I filled one of the new canisters with GFO without sponges and rinsed it a few times, and no pellets seemed to escape. So I'm guessing the sponges are for carbon only...

In the brs videos they only use the sponges for carbon so your right.

I used the GFO without the sponges and it all escaped into my tank and killed my yellow tang!! I also have a problem with the GFO tumbling so I may try just one sponge on top.
