Yea the 70 is pretty complete now. Asides from a coral here and there. Up to 11 fish and figure better stop there. I added two TLFs with a maxi 1200 and not sure if it is good enough... but I only have carbon running so far. Going to add GFO to the second I think.

Ok lets get this out of the way
 .......around 600gph for carbon.....300-400gph for GFO/rowaphos........and its impossible to daisy-chain two TLF reactors (or any reactors for that matter)together and get the proper flow to each media......sorry all, that was just buggin me, I feel better now

Thus I have built a manifold that's T'eed off of my return line with multiple 1/2 ball valves. One goes to the carbon, and one goes to the UV. Both empty into the return section of the sump. Biopellets use a dedicated MJ1200 and feed right back to near the skimmer intake.

OK....600 GPH for Carbon....what utility pump would you recommend for my TLF150
The MJ1200 is rated for 295 GPH MJ1200 looks fine for GFO.

"Use with any pump having a capacity between 100 and 250 gph, but regulate the flow rate to the recommended 20 to 30 gallons per hour with the included ball valve." http://www.twolittlefishies.com/tlf_...html?lang_id=1 So I am wondering now.... does this just apply to Phosban and the other medias actually require higher flow? I bought my Maxijet 1200 based on flow recommendations... any thoughts on this?

20 to 30 GPH for GFO......seems light.......you would have to dial the MJ1200. Dodown quite a bit.....confusing

I think it all comes down to what reactor and how much media you are using (which is relative to tank size).

am a little curious about this also i just set up my brs dual reactor and they have an instructional video and it says that carbon should be in a lower flow after my gfo , he goes on to say that carbon works better in " long contact times" and " low flow rate" ......... is this wrong?? this was thie vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODZPFlJLopk
