phosban reactor

I have been looking around for a phosban reactor and I found one that sells the pump, media,hose clamps and ball valve with the reactor for about $60. Most websites state that you appropriate size pump which no one lists what size u need. The pump they state is rated at 90gph. Is this good enough?

Should be good. I use a MJ400 on my reactor and have no issues at all. If its too much flow, just turn the valve and slow it down. You dont want the media to break apart (assuming you are using GFO).

Hope that helps.
