    Hello,

    I'm having trouble setting up my Phosban Reactor 550 from Two Little Fishies. The plan is to run bio media. The problem is that I cannot get enough flow through the reactor to move the media very much. I've seen a couple of videos on youtube and their media is tumbling through the water. With my Rio 1000 pump, my media is barely moving and only on one side of the reactor. Does anyone have one set up? What pump should I be using?

    Thanks a bunch!

    It sounds like not enough flow. I just did a quick look online but didn't see the reccomended GPH. Bump here's a bump for help.
