blueheaven Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 It will not render it ineffective but more of not achieving its full potential Its better to run it in a FR Quote But if you tame me, we shall need each other.

I can just place it in between the plates and allow the water to flow through? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You got it wrong! you dont put your rowas on the overflow chamber. Put it in between your baffle plates, it is the last few layers of glass before your return pump. The purpose is for preventing air bubbles from escaping to your return pump compartment. Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Reefaholic Posted June 20, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted June 20, 2005 I think better place it before your return pump. I have second opinion, mesh is quite useful too. I used to run it in FR, no tear it down as i find that after awhile the rowa fails to fluidise effectively. I think they absorb too much PO4 till they are quite heavy to "jump". Now using mesh bag. Every 2 to 3 days, overturn your bag should be enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
