Messy eaters and I feed a lot - I guess. I have a 7" Porcupine Puffer, 30: Snowflake EEL, and 7" Red Breasted Wrasse in a 150 FOWLR. I have around...
I have been running the modified reactor with pellets for around 2 months now on my 150 FOWLR. My nitrates have dropped from 80 to around 35. They...
I just took it out and I cleaned the mesh. no gunk but some pellets stuck in it. I put it back and now I have to dial back the mag 5. I think the...
Thanks. I will pull it put and check/clean the mesh disk. I am not using a prefilter. I have this mod reactor running for less than a month so far.
I had around 1 cup of pellets working pretty good with a Mag 3. Today I decided to add another 1/2 cup so I am running around 1.5 cups (or 355ml)....
I put the Mag 5 in. Now I have tumble. I have the the valve before the reactor almost open all the way to get decent tumble. I wonder if a Mag 3...
thanks guys. I have no MAG 3 lying around, but do have a Mag 5 and Eheim Compact 2000. I might give the Eheim Compact 2000 a try. My sump is tight...
I did use two layers of the mesh an staggered a bit to make sure pellets do not go out. Maybe this is restricting flow too.

I think I have 16 gallons of bioballs in one chamber. then there is an inch or two below and then the second chamber is holding around 5 or 6...
thanks. I read too much today so I finally posted here. Outside of the brand and size I pick, is my sump to small for a good size skimmer or should...
thanks. which Model AquaC would you recommend? I think the smaller ones come with the Mag 3. Urchin Pro But this is also rated for only 120...
thanks. I am more concerned on the quality and the function. I spent what seems like a fortune on the setup going through the LFS and am trying to...
I am fairly new to this. I have spent a lot of time reading about skimmers and more I read, less I know what I need. I have a new 150 gallon Fish...
