| Well we are battling some Red Slime, and have decided to give a phosban reactor a try, as it seems thats what many suggest. Here is a quick video I just want to make sure I have it set correct. YouTube - Zi6 0019 The top inch or so is moving with what looks like boiling water on the surface of the phosban. There are a few youtube videos out there of other peoples, and some seem too slow while others seem to high of flow, I tried for in the middle right now. |

| Yes, the flow looks correct, however, you seem to have way too much Phosban for a 30 gallon tank. Phosphate removing media has been know to cause problems with corals bleaching/dying if you install too much right away. I recommend starting with about 1/3 of the recommended amount and work your way up to about 2/3 of the recommended amount once the phosphates get removed from your tank so everything as time to adjust to the water changes. If you still end up having problems over time, then you can try raising the amount up to the recommended amount, but that usually isn't necessary.

| We have a 125g with a 30g sump, I never changed that since I got rid of my biocube. |

| That makes me feel better about seeing how much phosphate removing media you have in your reactor. You had me worried for a second.
