From TLF web site... link follows...

"Use with any pump having a capacity between 100 and 250 gph, but regulate the flow rate to the recommended 20 to 30 gallons per hour with the included ball valve."

So I am wondering now.... does this just apply to Phosban and the other medias actually require higher flow?

I bought my Maxijet 1200 based on flow recommendations... any thoughts on this?

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

20 to 30 GPH for GFO......seems light.......you would have to dial the MJ1200. Dodown quite a bit.....confusing

I think it all comes down to what reactor and how much media you are using (which is relative to tank size).
