    All Pond Solutions EF 2 Filter booster as reactor

    Hi Will, Sorry just been really busy with work and all. I am running the APS EF2 on a separate loop. The reason was I wanted to keep filtration separate from heater and co2 injection. Also needed more flow so just decided on an in-line pump for additional flow, you can never and enough...

    Finally got the chance to plumb this in and the results are great. I tried with a inline diffuser although the results were good was getting sick of the bubbles in the tank. Then I tried the Sera Flora reactor which was good but build quality and noise was an issue. Now I am using the APS...

    All Pond Solutions EF 2 Filter booster as reactor

    I’m not to worried as I have an FX 5 for doing the filtering and providing flow with a wave maker 3000 lph in the tank. I have another loop which is run by an Eheim 2000 in-line pump to do the heating and co2 work. Usually you do lose a bit with any reactor. Will test this over the weekend and...
