You can with a couple mods .... I have just got mine to churn just right a couple days ago...
this is what i have done after reading other peoples trial and errors remove the bottom red plate and glued the white tube into the top red plate so it wouldnt fall out then remove the top foam so it wouldnt clog up with mulm and I have put on a 600 gph pump and my pellets are dancing happy

OK so if I am following you correctly, remove both sponge's and glue the center tube into both red ring's & use a pump that make's the pellets tumble nicely.

I think it's just glued to the top red plate, and do without the bottom red plate altogether ..

Im surprised you need 600gph pump to power a TLF reactor or are you using 2x TLF reactors with the 600gph..


EDIT:signed in on the wrong account..should have used the oceaniccorals one haha..

I have a 4 ft sump and im running my pump from one side to the reactor on the other side where the skimmer outlet is ....my return compartment is to small for two pumps ...(plus that was the only size other then my 250pgh i had in my tickle trunk of goodies)
