devocole Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 I was wondering if anyone knows about connecting a pump inline with a canister filter to increase/help flow. I have an inline heater and reactor that really slow the output. Let me know. Thanks Devon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
African_Fever Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 If you're going to be running a pump to help increase the flow, I think you'd be better off just having a separate circuit with the pump, heater, and reactor. I wouldn't think that the pushing or pulling on the canisters' pump would be very good for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
byte Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 Could you replace the 90 degree elbows on the reactor with straight fittings? Or maybe remove some of the bio-balls from the reactor might help as well. From what I have read, the reactor will reduce the pressure a bit, but it should not cut it by 50%.
