Buy this reactor By Mr. 6 on 1/7/13
Mr. 6 would recommend this product to a friend
Overall quality is very good. had to make a few modifications to keep the canisters level. Also set this up so you can run about 5 gallons into a bucket to remove the fines from GFO, also handy when doing weekly water change. I also recommend high capacity. Replace your GFO first and run off the fines into a bucket then few hours(day) later clean your carbon canister and replace your carbon. This way the reactor will stay cleaner and run more efficiently because the GFO fines tend to settle in the bottom of the carbon reactor.

Very Easy to install By Ross on 1/5/13

Ordered one of these with a pump as a Christmas gift for someone, they had it installed and running in their sump in under 5 minutes. I can't give an opinion about how well it works personally, but based on the opinions of the owner I would have to say it works extremely well and is a very high quality constructed piece of equipment.
I'm a bit jealous that at the time of this review the version with a pump is out of stock. I'd like to order one for myself in the future.

Great reactor. Works well and easy to switch out and add media. The tubing was pretty hard to work with and can vibrate sometimes but other then that awesome product.

Nice reactor, even nicer price By shaungee on 12/28/12

This reactor is a breeze to setup and operate. The reactor has helped me maintain a healthy environment that I didn't feel I was getting with just water changes. The plumbing was easy to setup and the included valve makes fine tuning the reactor take only a couple seconds. Maintenance is a snap as well. Highly recommended.

LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!! By Eddie on 12/26/12

Bought one of these and maintenance is so easy and i was told that it is sometimes a little tricky to set up and get the flow right so the GFO can tumble and i have to say its not and im a new reefer and only been doing this for less that two months.

Good product By Chad on 12/16/12

I bought the combo with pump. I love these reactors and they certainly do the job. After I had a hair algae outbreak I decided to start using GFO to keep phosphate in check. My phosphate was at .73 ppm when I started, and two weeks later it was at .04 ppm.
I am not convinced on the carbon yet, but I am not sure that I would even notice a difference.
It gets 4 stars because the MJ1200 pump doesn't seem enough to keep the GFO from turning into a solid block, which decreases the overall water flow through the reactors. I would recommend a Mag-3 instead.

Had no issues installing it. I have decent flow through the entire two reactors. Should have ran this system a long time ago.

I bought the kit with pump and was very happy to see how easy and fast it was to setup. The whole thing is as easy to setup if you have a RO/DI setup already. After buying this one I purchased the single for my freshwater tank.

cant complain easy to setup and they have a nice reef calculator tell you amount of gfo or carbon to use. fits nicely besides my sump and for this price every reefer should have one.
