Hello everyone! I figured I would post this cool install that my Dad and I did a while back on my Reef Octopus Biochurn 120R Recirculating Biopellet Reactor. I moved over to a new system and am selling this one but wanted to give others ideas from what we did. The great thing about this product is that you can install it into a system without taking up much space at all.

-For the feeding pump I used a Mag Drive 3 Supreme (Danner) Utility Pump.
-For added flow regulation we made a conversion for the inbound line that added a gate-valve. This basically allowed me to regulate both inbound flow and then the recirculating flow!
-I used some OXO silicon drying racks, cut them up to add some sound padding to the pump; the Magdrives can cause some added noise/vibration and the silicon really knocked it out.
-On the elbow (in white) we noticed that by adding a baffle at the end, it knocked out microbubbles that would sometimes occur
