Product Questions

Also, someone else answered a question saying it's designed to be run externally - can it also be placed in the sump next to the skimmer?
Question by: James Allen on Nov 14, 2016, 7:53 AM
Hey James,
This reactor can be ran both internally as well as externally : )

What would the benefit to this reactor be compared to the Biochurn 120INT, which has a pump and it looks to be much easier to refill the media?
Question by: James Allen on Nov 14, 2016, 7:40 AM
Great question! This model can be used externally, unlike the 120INT model. This would require a separate feed pump, however that also allows for the included pump to be solely dedicated to churning the biopellets. :-)

Can this reactor run externally?
Question by: Melvin on Feb 11, 2014, 11:35 AM
Hi Melvin,
That's not a problem at all, its designed to be run outside the sump.

Does this reactor need any additional pumps and if so what pump?
Question by: Kris on Dec 25, 2013, 8:31 AM
Hi Kris,
This reactor would require a feed pump to supply aquarium water to the reactor. They recommend a pump between 270 and 530gph. The sicce syncra silent 2.0 would be a good choice as its up to 568gph and has an adjustable inlet on the pump to adjust the flow.
