Phosphan reactor pump

[ganjero]

What is the recommended pump to use on this? what about if you are using 2 of them inline?
Thanks

Any small maxijet or powerhead will work. Mine came with a valve to slow the flow down before entering the unit. A slow flow is required to keep the phosban from turning to dust and entering the tank. I wouldnt use 2 pumps, you only need a feed pump.

I use a minjet 404 pump. Do not think you need two pump in line. I need to lower the flow with the 404 pump. Some people run two reactor in line, one for carbon and one for PO4 removing media. Or you can just run one reactor with carbon and PO4 removing media.

I run 2 of them in line with Phosban in one and carbon in the other. A Maxijet 400 will work fine and with the included valve you can dial back flow as needed or if needed.

I too use a MJ 400

I use an MJ600 with the valve set back about half.

I use an MJ600 with two reactors in-line but want to change it out for a 400. The 600 is too strong so I have to crank back the valve so far the backpressure makes the MJ buzz. Go with a 400 or something else small. It doesn't take much.

use a rio 50
never thought it would be enough flow but it works very well in my 210gal system... i was told it doesnt take much and it certainly doesnt.

Thats what I'm planning, put 2 reactors in line with one pump, one with carbon and the other one with Phosban.

mj 400 is perfect

I used a Maxi Jet 600 pump to run Rowa in two phosban reactors looped together. It worked well for me.

I'm using a minijet 606, should have got the 404, the 606 is way too much. I have it set as low as it'll go, and still had to throttle it back a bunch to keep the media from dancing all over the reactor. But even with that very small amount of flow it's lowered my phosephate from over 0.5ppm to below 0.03ppm in 2 weeks.
