Well i think i am going to order a eheim and pick up the parts to have handy. Good find :biggrin:. Will stay with the rowaith media as i have like 3 pails kicking around.

the aquabees sometimes have a gate that flaps back and forth on the oulet...
it get stuck VERY easily and needs to be manually unstuck.

make sure this isnt your problem first.


If your impellar is still good, I have a spare aquabee 2000/1 available with no impellar shaft.

There are bits and pieces that were broken in there. I think only the body itself is good.

I haven't heard back from Marlin65 so I'm going to go ahead with the mod. I'll post pics when it is all said and done. I ordered the eheim and it should be here sometime next week.

So I have done the mod. Still haven't run water through it yet. Just waiting for everything to dry up.

I have no idea on how to put pictures on this site (it never works) but I can email anyone who wants a look. I'll send some more once everything is up and running as well

Any updated? Just got this reactor off a local member with a bad pump!!!

It actually worked pretty good. I ended up selling the unit a while ago but it was working fine when I sold it.
