pump size for 500 reactor with differing uses ??

[cracker]

I recently cleaned up a LF 550 reactor & orderd some GFO. So I need a pump & understand a small maxijet 600 will work. However I might want to use this reactor for another use some day. I don't know biopellets carbon chaeto reactor etc. Ya think a maxi jet 1200 would do the trick?
i'm looking for the ball valve that came with it & would like to have the valve that came with the reactor. Anybody know off hand where to order one? Looked at BRs & found one at littlefishes .com. Haven't looked at marine depot yet. If not ,no biggy I can always install another type. Thanks for any insight !

Amazon

get a jebao DC pump link and control the flow with the controler and you will not need a ball valve. The maxi jet 1200 sounds like a train. I purchased maxi jet 1200 for my GFO reactor and quickly replace it. I is still in the box came in the garage

Nice pump but more than I want to spend. It would come in handy for future uses though. If I got 1 size larger I'd use it as a return for the 75. I'll have to think about this one.

I decided to go with a maxi 900 The Dc pump was more than I wanted to spend. it should be enough to do what I want.
