Default Bio Churn or direct flow reactor for pellets
Hi All,

I have been running a CAD bio pellet reactor for a little while, but I added the amount of media recommended fro my tank volume and it doesn't have the power to churn it anymore. Looking to upgrade my unit to something that holds more pellets, and has more churning power. I came across the Bio Churn reactors by reef octopus. They look OK, but do they work as well or better than the typical direct flow reactor? These ones spin the material around instead of tumbling it.

Based on peoples opinions here, I will try to make an informed decision. It is 300 bucks or so. it has to be worth it for that kind of money.

Thanks!
