JimD Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 What are ya'll using for the feed pump on your calcium reactor. I see many use Maxi Jets but usually choke them down. I have some fresh Aqualifter pumps and thought Id try one, anyone else use one on a Ca reactor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimD Posted August 11, 2009 Author Share Posted August 11, 2009 320 gallons per hour??? You must go through a lot of Co2! Are you using that pump for recirculating or actual feed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Daniel Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 If possible, you should plumb it in to your return/drain and save yourself the extra pump/heat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimD Posted August 19, 2009 Author Share Posted August 19, 2009 No sump, no return, probably try the Aqualifter... Thanks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
