What pump do you recommend for the 2 fishes 150 phosphate reactor? it recommends 20-40 gph, but I can't find a pump that flows that low.
thanks.
 
I used a valve to regulate mine. Put it on the inflow side, used rigid tubing. Are you using GFO? Don't have too much flow, just enough to gently tumble it. Using the pump from an old AM nanowave, 180 gph I think?

I use maxijet1200 with a ball valve but I have it tee off for my carbon also.

I use a Via-Aqua, 480 I think. Cheap little pump that is quiet and has worked great for a year now.
