great for GFO & carbon By 241wrasse on 12/22/12

2 of these in use - 1 for GFO, 1 for carbon. Nice design, well made, easy maintenance (don't lose the wrench!). Running BRS GFO, maintaining 0ppm phosphate. Carbon reactor using BRS "large particle lignite", tank water clean & clear, livestock happy - which is the ultimate goal.

My experience By flipper on 12/3/12

I use it for gfo reacter. I Like the reacter but hate the maxi jet pump it came with. It too noisy. So if you are buying it do get the pump. I have fed mine off the main pump . And is working great.

Just what I needed.... By JERRY on 11/28/12

These units are plug and play, with everything else I have to tinker with, adjust and trial and error this component worked flawlessly. I have a double on my wish list and with my next purchase i plan on ordering one.

This product is cheap and works great. The bonus of watching BFS TV video before purchase made this the right one for us.

I have 2, they are great! A little difficult to get open but for the price I can over look that.

Functional BUT... By Jeremy on 10/8/12
Jeremy would recommend this product to a friend
I used this reactor for about a year and have no major gripes...but be careful with it on two fronts.
1. The bracket broke from unit after 6 months of use. The plastic bolts that hold it in place all failed from tightening and untightning the reactor. Perhaps I was over thightening??? I don't think I was.
2. The reactor had a tendency to clog way more quickly than other reactors I've used...make sure you place a sponge filter over the pump intake! That seemed to help (but only a little).
***I would strongly recommend the delux to avoid the issues with the mounting bracket - the delux has the bracket fused to the lid.

Great Reactor By Justin on 9/30/12

Purchased one these for my tank to run Carbon. Combined with ROX 0.8 carbon, my tank was noticeably clearer in less than 24 hours. It is a solidly built product that is easy to install, and the media holder design makes it easy to run the right amount of carbon without causing a lot of tumbling and movement.

INSTRUCTIONS INCLUDED By Carla on 9/29/12
Carla would recommend this product to a friend
I've been reefing for three years now and this is the first time that I've ordered equipment and found that it came with instructions. Loved how easy it was to set up and install. Using it as GFO/carbon combined and can't wait to see an inprovement in my display. The great videos are helpful also. Please keep up the great service. BRS is now my go to website.

Great build quality and a great price. I'm usually a DIY guy, but this reactor is great. Easy to install and easy to clean.
