I'm going to mod mine to be a recircilating reactor. I think that will fix the problem u r having

klaz, here is a video of modded Vortex reactor.
You can perform the same mod on your TLF reactor but you will need a bigger pump than your MP1200

So did you do the TLF mod to the 150 yet? Curious? Rather than trying to create a recirculating unit, I was simply going to push the recommended 400-450 gph through the unit. My units (tlf 150's) I just got, talk about 450gph with 200ml media, I know the mj1200 is barely 295gph. Wonder if this is why the clumping?

rogergolf66 · 06/12/2012, 04:35 PM

No I haven't yet. I have been so busy hopping to do it in the next week or so I have all the parts
