@GeebungOldSpice Thank you for your feedback. This was one of our earliest videos, so we were just getting our feet wet, so to speak, on editing and production. We're by no means experts now, but we're getting better! :-) Please let us know if you have any specific questions. We'd be happy to address any inquiries you may have about BioPellet reactors or media.

What size pump do you reccomend and what size pellets thanks

[MarineDepotVideos]

@flychef11 The size pump and pellets depends on the aquarium. In most cases, you would use 100 ml of pellets per 100 L (approx 25 gallons). As for the pump, for a Phosban 150 reactor, like the one used in the video, a Maxijet 1200 would be ideal. For larger reactors, you may want to consider anoher pump.

Does the screen come with the reactor?

[MarineDepotVideos]

@zacguitarshreder12 If you purchase the NPX Bioplastics Reactor, the screen is included. If you're converting a Two Little Fishies Phosban Reactor into a Bioplastic Reactor, you'll need to purchase the screen separately.We sell 2 for $2.49. We can't paste a link into a comment here on YouTube, but if you do a Google search for the item # -- TL54853 -- you should be able to see it. Let us know if you have any additional questions! You can also call us at 1-800-566-FISH (3474).

@zangiamit91 The Brightwell Katalyst media is very similar to “Bio-Plastics” and is basically the same media distributed by a different company. We haven't experienced a particular advantage by using one product over the other. Both are organic carbon sources designed to colonize bacteria--resulting in low nutrient water, free of phosphates and nitrates.

what the different between the tlf bioplastical and the Brightwell Katalyst?
