Small Pumps.?

[bckane]

What would be a good small pump to run my Phosban Reactor.....I have 2 one will be just for carbon the other Phosban. Looking for something under 5 watts and about 85 GPH.

MaxiJet 900 which is 9 watts. the 1200 is 20watts. Use 5/8" ID Vinyl tubing from Home Depot.

I have a rio 90 for my phosban reactor and UV...its not a whole lot of flow but its enough to keep the top of the phosban media moving...

Thanks Bret...I went ahead and ordered 2 Rio 90's

A lot of people dont like Rios...but Ive had mine over a year and have yet to have a problem...just incase get a ground probe if you dont have one already!! Good luck! cant wait to see this tank when its done with all the work you've put into it! =)

 

[bckane]

Ive learned from my last tank....need to have a (ground probe ).
Tank is coming along....Alll my planning seem to coming into place....I keep having new ideas...but like they say you learn by your mistakes......

if you dont mind me asking how much are reactors like that? im looking to make my reef a little more high tech (skimmer, phosban reactor, etc) and trying to figure out what its going to set me back..

 

[ek9vboi]

Skimmer should be a standard unless you do a lot of waterchanges.

Phosban reactors are about 40 bucks, not bad at all.

 

[bckane]

Seeing that I didnt have to answer the question.......I'll go feed the fish

 

[r00onmac]

well its not standard... and hastn been for over a year now... lol but i want it to become standard..

 

[bckane]

You can have a awsome tank without a Skimmer.....Just look at Roggers "Tank Of The Month" (Skimmless)

i use a mini jet 404 for mine, and i still have to throttle it down big time.

Brian, I have a Mag 2 that I keep in the sump inside a nylon sock to prevent debri from entering the reactors, the outlet on the the mag 2 has a "T" feeding my 2 fluidized reactors, it works really good, I don't need to restrict the flow.
