What reactor are you using at the store?

We are running a Vertex reactor at the store. Works flawless.

Wondering if I can use the 2 TLF 150's that I have to run these NP pellets.

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 ..

I just pulled one of the TLF 150's that I have apart and if you don't use the bottom red plate there would be nothing to hold the tube off the bottom of the reactor to allow water to flow into reactor.

Er.. maybe I understood wrong.

But I thought that was why you need to glue the tube to the top plate. I got the impression the tube just dangles near the bottom and the pellets just fly around as a result.
