Reactor setup and tips needed.

[kenny2009]

Im asking for new tip/ideas. I have a two little fishes 150 phosband. Right now I have a maxijet 1200 hanging inside my 210 gallon reef tank. It don't look the best but I'm just looking to up grade and maybe better performance. Anyone been here done that? Or any better ideas on a better way to set it up? Thanks.

Do you have a sump you can move it to?

I agree, I have mine in my sump(the reactor hangs off the side of the sump)...I think a 1200 might be too powerful for the Phos reactor. I think mine is a 600 or 800. If you look in the directions it should recommend the optimal pump size.

No. It's not drilled. I don't know if my pump is getting tired but it don't event tumble the stuff in it anymore. Im thinking about getting a bigger reactor and maybe a new pump and looking for good ideas and thoughts.

Mine isn't drilled either. Get a good overflow box. I've been using one for 7 years with no issues.
