SnowboardKid26 Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 Does anyone run one? If so what brand? Do I need a pump for it, or just plumb it inline? If so what pump? I'm really concidering getting one since they are so cheap, but I was wondering if anyone had experience with them. Thanks SBK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R-3 Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 I have a Kent one. Both Kent and TLF are both really close. The nice thing though about the TLF is that it has a valve one it. All you need is a little powerhead. Not even 100GPH. Works great. I use Magnavore PURA Phosblock media and it works pretty good.

Guest Mbeef61 Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 yeah i would recommend one...i use the 2 little fishes one...make sure you get the new version because the old one had like 12 little screws for the top and the new one is just one big screw top....huge improvement....i use phosban...it works for me really well...i have heard rowa phos is good too...if i had another one i might hook the 2 up inline and use one for carbon...they just look cool...haha later mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyles Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 Ya I use the TLF with phosban, you only need about 1/4 of the recommended dose and it should keep up, if your in doubt try testing your ph04. But they do work good and if anyhting just adds a little confidence to the system. Keep in mind the phosban is a Iron "Sponge" but is much safer than the kent sponge (aluminum) and I have had no bad results with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fly guy Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 I use both brands on different systems...........i generally use them to run my carbon........i just plumba a 1/2" T off of my sump return lines to run both those and my chillers so no extra pump is necessary......and the valve isnt so important either because you have to have one to control the flow off of your return line. They are exactly the same however and the TLF one is cheaper AND with the free valve to boot..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
