Every once in awhile turn on the ntm and it will stir up all the junk even more. Got it out and down your drain. I love my mp's

Ntm??

It's crazy how the mp Vortech pumps stir up crud that the WP/Tunze pumps don't.

i may have to reconsider my idea of exchanging my mp40 for a tunze 6095.

the mp40 seems loud. maybe i'm not installing it properly.

You gotta play with it so that it aligns well with the outside which will help reduce noise.

Tunzes are silent, but they don't move water like a Vortech pump.

+1
Not to mention having to look at the tunze versus the vortech. I also like that the vortech doesn't add heat to the tank by having the motor outside.

Before you judge: im going to clean up under here.

Now what I did: swapped out my 40g sump for a 55g sump.

I also started my biopellets with only 1/3 dose from a 50g bag of NPX pellets. But im not getting a nice tumble from my gfo. Wondering if I should get a stronger pump for the pellets?

Then....I pulled out a rusted razor blade that was in my old sump


Also added an mp10 to use for a slave against the mp60.

Yeah you probably would need an mj1200 just for the bps reactor

I may jist get a bigger pump to run the 2 reactors

IMO I wouldn't recommend running the BPS reactor in tandem with the other reactors. The BPS reactor is a lot more dependent on consistent and strong flow.

if your flow drops, the pellets will stick and clog... its not pretty

Well it isnt tumbling too well. Its more of a subtle tumble.

I took it offline for now. I just noticed it doesnt have that mesh disc thing on the bottom. Does that affect flow, or will I need a stronger pump?

I used a modded tlf reactor for biopellets and i would not recommend it my nitrates dropped but I think the flow coming out of the reactor was too much and I was battling cyno forever. I'd really recommend a reactor meant for biopellets where you can control the flow out.

Keeps pellets from being siphoned back into the tank when turned off
