I tried to use my small SpyGlass reactor using Purigen, and that did not go well. I guess I am supposed to have the screen on the bottom of the reactor so the media cannot get out. I also want to change the pump to a DC pump but the problem is finding one that fits, have you guys figured out if a DC pump would work in the small reactor?

Definitely check out the Spyglass setup video where we cover how to get things set up for Purigen



The Sicce nano pump runs at max 2.8 watts, I can't imagine a more efficient and reliable pump for this application so we have not explored it at all.
