N/P Reducing Pellets ("Solid Vodka") - "Wow" ... 3 month update

#1 03-02-2010, 02:30 AM

My problem is that I have a 550gallon system and I'm running almost 3L of Biopellets. It would take a huge reactor and a huge pump to tumble that much. This is why I chose to put it with the zeolites. I can manually pump the reactor and mix everything up 2x a day this way. Is there something you would recommend for running this much NP?

I would run something like this http://www.oceaniccorals.com/store/i...&productId=134 with a Mag 3 pump, you should have no problem fitting in 3L of media and also keeping them fluidized. You have a rather large system!

Thats funny, I'm running an MR Monster with carbon in one tube and GFO in the other. Maybe I'll run the pellets in both because they didn't fit into 1 tube originally. Thanks!

here is good size media reactor for $37 CAD (shipping is +$30)

http://www.reefshops.com/diy-product...he-filter.html
diameter: 21cm high: 38cm 8" inch x 15" high
Would it hold 3L ? but price is sweet though, and looks like ppl on here are are buying from these guys.

WOW, that looks good, for the price. I'd be in on splitting shipping with someone if they were making an order.
