How Important is carbon?

For those also wondering, SRO = Super Reef Octopus. It should have been obvious, but I admit, I had to look it up. I had no idea they made so many different variations of the same model number. For example, they have INT, EXT and SSS. I really like the idea of the pump *inside* the skimmer like many of the new models are coming out with, but an external skimmer has advantages too. If I was buying a 3000, not sure which I would go with...either the SSS or the EXT. The smaller footprint in the sump is probably worth the price of making the pump less accessible for maintenance. I just put a Bubble Blaster 3000 pump on my EuroReef...but I haven't fired it up yet. Looking forward to seeing it in action with the new pump.

Yeah I got the sss (internal pump) its really cool, they put a lot of o rings and grommets into it, its really well designed. I like the in sump models because if it gets messed up when I'm skimming wet and something causes it to overflow, itlll just flow back into the sump.my dream skimemr is a reeflo orca pro which is an external tho.

 

I think tanger was selling one of them earlier this year...cheap too...I wonder who ever bought it.

what order do you run the dual BRS reactor if running the GFO and the Carbon in series? Carbon then GFo or vice versa?

 

so does the water go from carbon then GFO or the other way around? what sive pump are you running with? thanks.

 

where did you order it from?

 

Got it through BRS, I love those guys! Quick shipping, buyer rewards, good prices!

 

did you get the SRO model or the XP? I don't see an SRO 3000 at BRS but I can find it on others...

 

Yeah I asked about an SRO and he had one drop shipped for me.
