I remember there was a thread about this on RC
http://reefcentral.com/forums/showth...hlight=reactor
what i was thinking was having the grotech reactor, but putting some acylic tube down in making the basket. And having one 1250 running it as i will have 2.5 imp gals.
and having it where the pump is connected now, have a t peiece and either side of this have a non return valve and then a 1250, which pushes 1200l/h.
What i was thinking of doing was having a timer come on for 3 hrs on/off in sequence for one of them, and then have the other one to come on for say 3 mins twice a day, when the first reactor is on.
Just thinking about it, as at the moment i have a large pump on my diy reactor, and it is tapped back, but today i thought i would experiment to see what would happen, and to me it looked just like the plunging, alot of stuff came off, then i turned the tap back.
Or perhaps thats the toher way to do it is have a tap and then just turn this twice a day?
But do you think this high flow would cause problems, even though it would only be for 6-10 mins a day. As we keep hearing not to put too much flow through the reactor.
