Hmm ill have to check the site, what pump u use to run it? I have a maxi-jet 1200

I think my BRS was 1 tablespoon per 10 gallons...

That's what I use as well. Carbon I just fill half full haven't had issues for years. I run it 24/7 gfo I monitor and keep online as needed and only run a certain amount

Ive had issues with carbon not being tightly packed in the chamber and breaking up and ending up in the flow. Regardless of how much your using, make sure its packed in there tight and not "bumbling" around. You want the gfo to "bumble" around though so dont pack it, Ive noticed itll turn to mud if you pack it in there and water wont flow through it.

It depends on the carbon. If you use the BRS ROX carbon you need much less than many other standard types.

+1, worked best for me, and kept one less pump out of the sump. Freed up a pump for water mixing!
