SRC Member untouchables Posted September 9, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted September 9, 2004 im using a resun fbf-1000 to run my rowaphos. i filled the canister up to 65% (ie 35% empty at the top) but when i switched on my power head, the rowaphos went all the way up and into my tank luckily the outlet was at the sump area and i managed to move the tube to the filter media so the rowaphos were caught there and did not make a mess in my sump. that was a 1500l/h ph which i tuned to the min, i think should be around 500l/h? i put a tap in and now the rowaphos stays at the bottom (slight movement up occasionally... is this the dancing that some reefers talked about?) but the flow out is extermely slow. estimate around 100l/h or even lesser. is this how it is done or am i doing something wrongly? thanks!
