Whatever reactor you use, don't cheap on the pump ! Get a lot more capacity than you think you'll need. I have a TLF Phosban 150 with the 'standard' MaxiJet 1200 and I can get a max of about 200ml of pellets to tumble properly.
I'm running the valve that comes with the reactor (wide open) and will remove that completely the next time I open/clean/top-up the reactor and see if I can add a touch more pellets (250ml ?). My system volume is only around 35 gal so this isn't a problem for me but I was a little surprised by how much pump was required for such a small amount of pellets !
