Aquamaxx or Cadlights?

[LinkinReef]

Looking to get into bio-pellets and these 2 are around my budget. One thing I don't understand is, what does "recirculating" mean? I've seen that the Aquamaxx spins the pellets and the cadlights spins them but in a wave-like motion.

Which one is better?

a recirculating reactor will give you separate controls for the flow inside and the effluent. The best bio pellet I have ever used was the Reef Dynamics recirculating design

Have you look into the Bashea bio pellet reactors they spin the pellets really nice, not sure if they are in the same price range but I believe so, DFS sells them, if you are in So Cal Dr.Tims has specials on them at the shows.

I saw the reef dynamics reactors but they're definitely out of the budget. The Aquamaxx, reactor being a non-recirculating reactor, will it work the same if I can control the flow from outside with a valve?

I can't seem to find any videos of them in action. I'll look more into these as well.
