I have the Two Little Fishies reactor and am quite happy with it. I have a MJ 600 and the first couple of weeks it was running fine. Once a week, as per instructions, I would open the valve to full for a couple of minutes to give it a stir. However I now am finding that the pump even with full open on the valve is not giving it's all. I've taken it apart, in fact took everything apart to make sure of "no clogs" but the pump doesn't pump it's full rating anymore. I'm thinking that I've wrecked it since I piped it back with the valve. I'm now thinking an adjustable pump should have been the way to go. I know that not letting the pump do it's full speed shortens its life. Anyone else had pump issues when throttling it back?
