Ok, I have heard so much goodness of making a RIO 600 powerhead reactor than using a passive reactor or bell so im in for a new change. The links I have fount show instructions of making the reactors. This DIY CO2 will be going into a 10gl tank. Is the RIO 600 too powerful of a current? How many GPH is needed for a good churning in a 10gl. Will a Powerhead Reactor cause alot of turbulence in the tank? Anyone have pics of this reactor in there tank? Also in the pic included, can I use this filter if I cut it in circular shapes and stack 3 of them together at the bottom of the gravel tube? Also instead of using bio balls can I use a plastic shreading of tube and insert it above the foam. And last but not least, I went to Wal-Mart today and they have for sale Aqua-Tech Powerheads that push out 190 GPH. They also come with the gravel tube included. Can I use this powerhead instead of ordering the RIO600. What are the needs on a powerhead in order to make this reactor? (example like reverse flow, etc)
