phos reactor

[old95er]

I have never used one, but want to. . .

I am sure this is really basic, but how do you insert this into the plumbing so that you only get 90GPH through it. I have one pump for the sump that is around 350GPH, and another for the CL that is around 600.

Do you T off one of the lines and adjust with a valve?

I run my phos reactor off of a small maxijet powerhead (not included w/ reactor but readily available). The reactor (TLF) came with a ball valve that you use to restict the flow of water into the reactor. HTH

I just got mine and I got a micro jet there are also mini jets they are nice and small and at the right gph that you need

so, I guess I just run the powerhead on the outtake side of the reactor to pull water through, and have the intake pulling from inside the last stage of the sump?

 

[Tennsquire]

On mine, I push water through with the output of the powerhead that feeds it being restricted by a ball valve. The water returns to the sump after it flows through the reactor. I think that's how they're designed to be run (at least the Two Little Fishes Phosban Reactors).

Alright, I think I get it now.

Thanks for all of your help.
