Kien, will you be paying out the ten cents per pellet recycling deposit? If so, you can have all of mine.

Man look at all those shiny RED reactors out there. I feel so ... blue ... with the MR-1.
3/4" inlets too on the Vertex ... nice, that has has Mag drive written all over it. The MR-1 is nice for being 1/2" outlets so fits on the MJ1200 easier, but I found it already once having stopped tumbling so I reduced the pellets to half and it started tumbling again sometime during my week away. Was thinking I'd have to modify the reactor to accept larger piping and a Mag drive ... Oh, IF ONLY SOMEONE HAD TOLD ME ABOUT THE VERTEX!!!

OKAY OKAY! If this could be anymore directed it would have hit me right in the forehead! We had not tested the Vertex reactors when you bought your Nextreef model; however, this would have been the one recommended if we knew what what we know now. Both reactors are good but the Vertex one is a better design when running a litre or more of the pellets. I have an idea! Because O.C. is all about service, I will send you a shiny new "red" reactor and once you get it wrap up your Nextreef and send it back. I have a use for the used Nextreef, just pay the difference! Hmmm, how is that? LOL

so got my pellets tonight, tumbling away for now...
Since I managed to sell a component of my project. I made a picture of it, and hopes someone will turn my dream into reality. This was my idea for a bio pellet tumbler.  Made out of a CPR refuge.

I think this would work really well except for not with a stream powerhead like that since what will happen is the pellets will just get sucked up to the intake slots. So what I'd do is basically a miniature closed loop. Use a powerhead or small pump (like a Seltz or similar), and use tubing or piping so that the intake is near the surface where the pellets wont be and then exhaust that water at the bottom where you have the powerhead in the drawing now. Or better yet, just have the pump in the sump or whatever, and that is both your feed pump AND pellet tumbler.
