GoblinFish · 09/25/2006, 01:16 PM

Hey i was wondering what would be an appropriate pump for The Two Little Fishies PhosBan Reactor 150 ?

Thank you!

Maxi-jet 600 or 400 would work.

You need 80 -90 gph flow through the reactor for phosban media - may need to run higher for carbob media - need to account for head loss.

Mini-jet 404 or 606 would work

I went with the MJ606 - I ordered the Phosban reactor and this pump last week and now waiting to receive it.

404 work great or the reacto comes with a small valve so if you want to go with a 606 that would be fine

Either Minijet, or a Maxijet 400 works best for me.

I use a single MJ400 for the Phosban and my Ca reactor.
