Is this a reactor???

Okay, so I had this item in a box of mixed used fish stuff. I suspect it's a reactor of some kind. What sort of reactor might it be, and how do I make it work? I honestly know nothing about them XD will it require its own pump?

Yes look up tlf 150 reactor

You can also plumb it into existing tank plumbing to be fed off of your return

Yes, needs a pump, yes it is a reactor, what kind...could be bio pellet/gfo?

You can use it for carbon, gfo (or both). I'm sure other media as well.

needs a 240 rio pump and also some tubing and phosban. it is a phosban reactor two little fishes the brand is. you can run chimi pure and stuff in it as well.

OK....I probably won't plumb it in to the return, as the flow is low enough already, but to buy the pump...hmm...gotta find out how much that will cost. Thanks for the help, guys! :D

They are really cheap. You don't want a lot of flow going through it. It's all about surface contact time with reactors.

Huh. Looks like the return pump this guy had on the tank is the right one for the reactor. Maybe I WILL plumb it in. I know the circuit can't take much more power drain, LOL!
