Pump for BRS media reactor?

[footballcs12]

I have the single cartridge media reactor running my gfo with a MJ1200 but that thing vibrates so freaking much! I am looking to get another brs media reactor to add carbon filtering and am curious if anyone uses anything other than a MJ on theirs. Plumbing into my return isnt an option unfortunately.

Or would buying a smaller pump and restricting it less make less noise?

Can you run a T off your return pump? Saves buying a pump.

Plumbing into my return isnt an option at this moment

I run my dual off a sicce 1.0. Dead silent.

How do you get it to connect the half inch tubing?

I use Eheim compact pumps. They're great and cheaper than the cobalt mj1200s that have steadily risen in price.

i 2nd the Sicce pump. BRS sells fittings that will adapt to whatever you need to. Although my MJ1200 was not that loud as long as the suction cups were mounted nicely.
