BRS Dual Carbon/GFO Reactor

[Deezill]

Good Morning,
I have a question and need some info. I need to start running Carbon on my new 210 build. I have the BRS Dual Carbon/GFO reactor which works and it was on my old 150 system. My problem is I had a lot of aptasia in my old system due to my own fault. If I use bleach and run it through the reactor and try to clean it would it be safe to use? I don't want any aptasia in my new system because I am using old equipment from my 150. Can aptasia spores survive a bleach bath?

My Ipinion;
Aptasia can survive a nuclear blast.
A long soak in bleach might work.

You should be able to get away with pleasing the canisters in boiling hot water for a while, then just for extra measure, toss in some bleach and rinse them out.

Thanks. Aptasia is the bane of all reefers existance.

They won't melt will they?

They are the RO/DI style canisters, are they not?

You should be okay, they're made of a fairly hard plastic. You could even just run them through the dishwasher a couple of times if you wanted.

Nope. Good soak in bleach should do nicely. Boiling is good too (take o-rings out first). Freshwater and just being dry probably does it, but bleach is cheap and last thing you want to think is ...man, there's some aiptasia, sure wish I'd bleached it.
