Tunze pump for phosphate reactor?

[tonyespinoza]

I'm planning to use a serial pair of Kent Phos Reactors (similar dimensions to TLF Phosban Reactor) and need a pump to drive them (it has 1/2" tubing inlet and outlet).

I'd prefer it to be as quiet and low maintenance as possible - so rather than go with a maxijet, i was thinking Tunze!

Which model would you recommend?

Maxi Jets are generally very good, reliable pumps. Besides Tunze it is one of the few pumps I like, those and Eheim all have there place. You could use our Nano Pump 0800.040, it is the pump we use in the calcium reactor, 9002 skimmer and Nano Cleaner. It does 220gph about and uses 10W. I wouldn't necessarily advise against using a Maxi Jet.

Cool. The Nano Pump seems worth it to me. I'm sure the MaxiJet would work fine, but they don't have service like Tunze.

You guys are amazing. I will always use Tunze products whenever possible.

In order to adapt the Nano Pump to a 1/2" vinyl tubing, will i need the .51" adapter (0800.047)?
