![]() I don't understand why people are glueing the TLF reactor to get it working properly. I have two TLF reactors connected together on my 90 Gal, they are driven by a MJ1200 full open and everything tumbles nicely. All I did to change the reactors was to remove the foam and replace it with plastic canvas from the craft store. I just cut it the same diameter as the plate with a small hole in the center so it slides over the inner tube. The holes in the plastic canvas allow for good flow and are small enough that the pellets won't pass through. I did the exact same thing on the Vertex I am using on my 180 Gal and it works fine.

![]() For those of you using the vertex reactor what flow rate are you using? I think I need to move mine up some.

![]() I was going to use my 550 as well, then read your post. Do you have it sitting in the sump so that there is no head pressure to overcome?

Yep its in the sump, I ended up removing the top plate, flipping the bottom plate over and adding a piece of mesh to the "top" plate. Seems that builds up a bit of pressure in the reactor allowing the pellets to fly around. It still requires a ridiculous amount of flow to get the pellets moving ![]()
