    Another idea might be to zip tie the canisters to a piece of acrylic or something that you can put into the sump. You can just replace the zip ties when it comes time to remove and replace the media.

    I like the idea of taking off the metal. I think I'll probably end up doing that.

    Quick question about carbon. I know the GFO is suppose to lightly tumble along the top surface. How do you tell if you are getting good flow through the carbon section? It's really hard to see, even when I shine my flashlight in there.

    I'm glad you said it would work bc I started thinking whether an ro canister differs from a typical upflow reactor with internal water levels. So for S&G I took off my DI and it would bobble around in about 7-8 inches of water... I didn't think as much about it with the plate on top to give some extra weight and stablility. A DI canister has air in it her reactor wont once primed.
