Is that working OK? Should I be looking for a bigger pump than a MJ1200?

I have switched on my personal aquarium and could not be happier! I am still using KZ additives such as Pohls Extra, Vitalizer, Bak, amino acids, Zeozyme, and Coral snow. I will no longer be using the reactor and zeolites, my days of pumping the reactor are over.

Yep, I'm at 1L of pellets, I couldn't even make them move with 400gph. I temporarily used my mag 7 but it was tripping the breaker. 700gph is about right though.

This is the pump I am going to add to my reactor setup.

$87.99 for the pump, these pumps are awesome, they are high quality and are set and forget.

As Ian has already stated, I too have removed the Zeolites... Still using all the other Zeo stuff, just no more reactor.

switched over from my daily dosing of vodka to the pellets and removed my way past due zeovit media out of the media chamber in the MCE600 and cant be any happier with the change, finally dont have to wake up and remember to dose the tank, still dosing the tank with Brightwell mb7 once in a while though.
