milkis Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 I'm in the process of building a new tank: IM 30L and I'm going to run a BRS dual chamber reactor since I have tons of algae problem on my current BC29. Now my question is can I mount the reactor on the back of the tank stand? I've heard where it have to be level with the tank. Need help please!!! Link to comment
HarryPotter Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 You can mount it to the back but then it's harder, as when you remove the media chamber it can cause the remaining water in the lines to dump onto the floor and possibly cause a siphon. I corrected for this by purchasing an extra valve from BRS so before changing media you can close both valves as close to the reactor as possible. Then just unscrew the chamber over a bucket so the water doesn't get on the floor. Link to comment
milkis Posted November 28, 2015 Author Share Posted November 28, 2015 HarryPotter thanks a lot!!! Couldn't I find one of those valves at Home Depot? Or I can pull the hose out of the tank whenever I'm cleaning the media Link to comment

I don't have the reactor on hand right now. It's being shipped at the moment. Link to comment
