I indeed have some problem getting good tumbling with the MR1. Could you please post of photo of the "drilled bottom plates" of the other reactors so I can see if I can make a modification on the MR1? Thanks Cia Renaud |

![]() Oh wow, I wrote that some time ago.
![]() I'll see if there's something I can snap a photo of, or maybe someone else can do so as well ... but in the meantime, imagine an acrylic disk for the bottom plate, with a grid of holes about 1/8" diameter or so. If you've seen the bottom plate of a TLF Phosban150 reactor, it's more or less the same idea.

![]() Any one else with the smaller tanks who are running the pellets having issues with HA?

![]() Not me. I've been running them for over 6 months now on a 50 gallon SPS tank and have zero hair algae.

![]() Running about 600ml of the smaller NP pellets in a 150 gallon system so about a month and a half. Using a TLF reactor hooked up off of a manifold powered by my Eheim 1260 return. Pellets churn like crazy and without the trusty Eheim breaking a sweat.
My nitrates were creeping up towards 30ppm after an all out SPS crash and there was nothing I could do to stop the rise. Nitrates now at 20ppm but won't budge any lower. I tossed out many corals that were on their way out which would have helped as well. Going to add a bit more pellets. Still cyano hanging around with a few tufts of HA. I've been adding Zeobak as directed and occasionally add Coral Snow as well. |

![]() I picked up a TLF 150 with 300 ml of pellets from RIPTANK. (Thanks man)He was using hydor L20 pump... I noticed the pellets moving in somewhat of a solid form....about 2/3 the way up the reactor. I switched out to a Maxijet and now I notice more vigorous tumbling and about 7/8 up the reactor.
Any feedback on the proper pump setup for this system. I'm running a 90G. He had been running the system for 2 months
