Here is some information for those that are looking to run the Vertex UF-15 & UF-20 Reactors.

Which reactor to choose?

500-1000ml of pellets;

• UF-15

1000ml+ and or dual with carbon

• UF-20

Flow!

Here is a video with an indication of what kind of flow you should be looking for, you could even squeeze out a little more flow that what is shown;

Flow through this reactor depends on what size reactor you choose to run and the volume of pellets you are using.

For running 500ml or less we suggest using the following pumps;

• Maxijet 1200
• Eheim 1048
• Tunze Silence 1073.020 (Will have to throttle back)
• Seltze L20 (may have to throttle back)

For running 1000ml or more we suggest the following pumps:

• Eheim 1250
• Seltz L30
• Sedra-3500
• Tunze Silence 1073.020
• Tunze Silence 1073.040
• Tee'd off the sump return

O.C. recommends getting a pump with more flow than what you need, you can always throttle the pump back but it is much more difficult to squeeze more flow out of too small of a pump.
