Review on 🐠 Marine Color BRD1.2 Chamber Bio Pellet Reactor - Biopellet for Marine Saltwater Aquariums by Jennifer Irvin

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The canister is too small. 1.2 liters is not accepted. Maybe 500ml

This unit should be advertised as a 55 gallon sea fish tank. It only fits 500 ml. I filled it up to 750ml and it immediately filled 4/5 from the top and mixed about 1/5 the volume. I've tried, as others have said, turning the pump to one side or the other to slow the flow so they tumble, but to no avail. The pump is too powerful and the canister too small. This pump works well with a large canister (twice the size) because the construction is fine. I'm glad it was in my sump because the top leaked a bit. I keep it to myself but I feel like I paid too many dollars. I will also add about 400 ml so that it tumbles properly. I have two other biopellet reactors (1 liter each) that cost twice as much and work fine. I need to learn that there are no free lunches.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Good but not great
