![]() Blaine why not just tap into your return line with a john guess fitting and power the reactor that way

![]() See,...I bought a Maxi-Jet 900. Where the connections attach to the motor is really flimsy. Every time I moved one of the 1/2" lines it would pop the top off. I was worried it would leak.
I was looking at the Mag Drive 250 Supreme but I dont think it has adjustable flow. Does that matter? The reactor is a Two Little Fishies 150 and it has a flow rate adjustment knob on the intake line.

![]() Have a good browse through J&L's pump selection. They list fitting sizes and head pressures.
FYI, Mag drives create heat, even when run externally, and can be a bit noisy. But, they are less likely to leak than, say, a Quiet One run externally. I don't have any advice for you on other brands the size you need. |

![]() I would look at the Ehiem compact line of pumps.... very good quality and adjustable......the 1000 or 2000 would probably fit the bill....
