Is it necessary to have the GFO tumble lightly for it to work effectively?
I use a Vertex Media reactor to run GFO through my tank. Quite frankly working with GFO, cleaning it, replacing it is a real PIA as it gets everywhere and makes a terrible mess. I dread the monthly replacement of the GFO media.
So I would like to put it into media bags and then into my reactor. This will make it much easier to replace and to clean out the system. But when I put the GFO into a media bag, it no longer tumbles in the reactor.
I can get excellent flow through the reactor even with several well filled media bags of GFO packed in....but since it is not tumbling, is it still doing what its supposed to?
