  Which of this Biopellet reactor would be recommend for a 200g reef tank. Thanks

  Bulk Reef Supply Hey Hai,
  Typically with biopellets you want to run about 1 cup for every 50 gallons of water. So that is 4 cups (a little less then 1000mL) on a tank that size so I would suggest going with the BR-110 :-)

  I was looking at buying a BR-110 Reactor and a mag drive 5 pump as recommended. Iwas wondering what else I would need to get and what was recommended. First i was wondering if I would need to purchase a valve to control the flow going into the reactor for proper tumbling. Also, what size and what type of tubing and connections would I need to connect everything. I would liek to buy everything in one shot instead of finding out I need to order more things to connect everything. Thanks.

  Bulk Reef Supply Hey Adam,
  Great question. That is a great pump to go with the reactor. There are a couple things you would want to pick up to get everything setup. Aside from the biopellets themselves, you would want to pick up a 1/2" female insert (barb) fitting to adapt the mag drive pump to flexible tubing, and then some 1/2" braided nylon tubing. Something like the 1/2" TLF ball valve would be a really easy way to control the flow.

  What size pump would you suggest be used with these reactors?

  Bulk Reef Supply Hey Gary,
  We would recommend going with a pump towards the top of the recommended flow rates for the reactor to insure you have enough flow (you can always throttle it back if necessary). For the Br-70, BR-110, and BR-140 I would suggest pumps like the Danner Mag Drive 3, Mag Drive 7, and Mag drive 9 respectively.
