Cerges - How much flow does it inhibit?

**Trickerie** · 09-03-2012, 03:33 PM

Hey All,

Ive been having some filtration issues lately, and I think it may be from my inline cerges inhibiting too much flow. I've been wondering, how many gph on average can I calculate I lose with this reactor? I'm debating on what to do, a new canister or a second.

From my personal experience and what I've seen others say, the Cerges restricts flow very little, if at all. If it does restrict, I barely noticed it after I installed mine. I'm running an Eheim 2213 through a GE 10" housing.

Weird. I'm getting a ton of debris in the water like its under filtered. Maybe I just need to clean the canister sooner than I expected. Ugh.
