I have a reef Dynamics BPR-135 and the pump is not strong enough to keep my biopellets tumbling. They will be fine for a few days and then as soon as some film builds up all of the pellets stick together. If I turn the pump up to max then nothing comes out of the outlet of the Reactor. They make an upgrade kit with a larger pump which is $200 and more than I even paid for the Reactor itself. Is there any way that I can make this pump stronger without spending $200? I do like the Reactor and don't want to get a different one if I don't need to. Can I use an external pump to help force some flow into the Reactor?
