I have a solid chamber/reactor body filled with calcium media, the controller, and a bottle filled with co2. However, the reactor needs a pump. What size is recommended??? The chamber is approx 22" high and 6" diam. the system includes: 120 display, 55 gl fuge(full), and a 28 gallon equip sump(half full). Any suggestions are appreciated.

My Korallin uses an Eheim 1048. It has been a good pump and very quiet. On their reactors that have a chamber the size of yours they use an Eheim 1250.

the one that I was using had a mag 3 on it, you just need to circulate the water in the chamber.
