    What size and what do you need it for? You want to use it as a powerhead?

    You may want to go a little bigger on your biopellet reactor. I've been reading that for many, the MJ1200 is not sufficient...and I would hate to have you run into the problem I ran into...where your pellets stop tumbling. I'm starting my reactor all over to rectify the issue. Not cool.  Maybe use a larger pump, the T off the return and run both on a larger pump...

    Just thought I'd chime in that a single 1200 running biopellets in a tlf 150 reactor is working great for me. Didn't work so well when I had a carbon reactor on the same line though.

    I like the thought of a bigger pump with a T... I have a maxijet 600 on my bio pellets and it tumbles those pellets very well Im looking at adding more pellets to my reactor and I want a better pump to make sure it can keep up. I figured since my 600 is doing a good job a 1200 should keep up. I started with 1000 mg of boi pellets and now I have about half of those pellets it seems so I am going to add another 1000 mg and get a bigger pump.

    I think you will be fine with a 1200 no problem sense you have a nice open reactor. I have read a few people having problems with the BRS bio reactors and not being able to get the flow through them.
