    If you haven't seen this you should check it out. 3 videos posted, with the last one today







    Name it contest:

    Avast Marine: Name It & Win It Contest - Winner TBA 11/27!

    Ignore the name posts unless you want to see 40 people come up with the same names over & over because they didn't read the entire thread.

    I don't even need one of these but I still want one. This is a killer idea and they're going to sell a ton of these

    That looks awesome! Wish my sump was bigger....doesn't look like it'd work well if not ran in/over a sump... :(

    Yeah Im pretty sure carbon breaking up by tumbling then the particles going into your system is bad. It didnt appear to be a sponge to collect that so for biopellets it looks awesome everything else idk about

    Prob could control flow to avoid too much tumbling.

    Yeah looks pretty cool. I don't really need a new one though as all I run in a reactor is rox carbon. The price will have to be right for me to buy something I don't "need." But if I were running biopellets and gfo I'd get one for sure.

    I'm a big Purigen fan so that's what I would use it for
