Toxiq Reef Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 I run the dual chamber BRS reactor with a MJ1200.. looking to upgrade the pump for a bit more flow(mag3) does anyone else use a mag drive on their "Hard line" reactors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+mcallahan Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 you need more flow for it?! I have mine shut 90% down with a maxi-jet 1200 equivalent pump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toxiq Reef Posted August 27, 2010 Author Share Posted August 27, 2010 I'll be running pellets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+mcallahan Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 I bet you won't need that much flow tho...you want the pellets to tumble like your gfo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robb in Austin Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Agree with Mark. I have a 1200 on mine and it too is shut way down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crendon2003 Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Same here my brs reactor with a maxi 1200 is about half way open and I have good tumble on my gfo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toxiq Reef Posted August 27, 2010 Author Share Posted August 27, 2010 there is a quite large weight differential.. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+mcallahan Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Might be but there will be more surface are for the water to push against. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
innate1 Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 I'm running my tlf with a rio 2500 and bought a ball valve thinking I would have to dial it back. Nope. You'll probably have to stir the pellets a few times. Mine took like two weeks of me dinking with them and now they are tumbling perfect. Watch your ph but all in all I'm really happy with em. Need anything yell at me my office is in C.P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
