Just curious on how fast of flow I should run the BRS deluxe reactor at?

Going to be feeding it with an Eheim Compact 600 pump which I believe is around 190gph unobstructed.

The reactor will hold a mix of about 3:1 Carbon:GFO mixed together.

for gfo to be effective, it needs a lot of contact time.....so as low as possible is what I would do...

Just barley have the top dance a bit. Almost a simmer. Any more than that it will grind to dust and release into your tank.

Well the sponges are smashed together so it can't tumble. Otherwise the GFO would turn the carbon to dust
