HELP! Reactor problem?

[chris17gable]

I wanted to run my reactor with some carbon to clear up my water a bit but I’ve started to notice pieces of the carbon in my sand bed. I use bulk reef supplies ROX 0.8 carbon in my lifegard aquatics turbo nano top flow reactor. is this bad for the tank? What could I do to prevent the from happening?

Get some filter floss and put that in the reactor to keep the carbon in place. I wouldn't worry if you got a little in the tank.

It's not a good thing, you must pack carbon so that it does not tumble and grind down to small fines. Call BRS and see what they recommend to pack it with.

Back in the 90's I used to run this carbon.
