I have used my dual BRS reactor now for approximately seven months....I have a 70 G reef tank. My water is crystal clear and my phosphates are next to nothing...me and my corals love the dual reactors.....

Awsome reactor! By Jocelyn on 8/24/12
Jocelyn would recommend this product to a friend
This reactor is quality. I was debating sharing the GFO and Carbon in the one chamber reator, but Im SOOO glad I went with the dual chamber. Changing out media is simple. It takes me literally 5 minutes or less. After handling this reatcor for 2 minutes you can tell its quality. BRS provided everything I needed to hook up my reactor. Thank you! I have never had and issue, leak, anything with this product and would reccomend it to anyone.

Good product needed some tweaking By Wes on 8/16/12
Wes would recommend this product to a friend
I had some similar problems with clogging as some other reviewers have had. I found a solution however and now they are running great with no problems at all. The bottom of the media canister i had to open up those plastic rings so they allowed more flow through. I took a phillips head screwdriver and basically pried and broke those rings apart, as that is where the clogging is happening. I did the same for the plastic ring that goes on the top over the top sponge. A little unorthodox but its working great now.

I really like this reactor. Hangs nicely on the back of my stand and I'm able to change out each media seperately as required.

great product By brandon on 8/14/12
brandon would recommend this product to a friend
This is a great product for cleaning any size tank. It works like a dream. Media changes take seconds and are so simple. my only complaint is it takes some getting used to to get it running effeciently. my suggestion is to get some extra canisters for when you preform media changes. It makes life easier and ensures the media is in a clean can, which is very important as flow becomes very restricted when the canisters get dirty and clogged (a cheap toothbrush will do the trick in cleaning these and clearing debris). Any ways, This is a must have, this combined with ROX and high capacity GFO and youll forget what test results looked like when they bad or too high.

The pump is undersized By Will M on 8/13/12
Will M wouldn't recommend this product to a friend
The reactor itself is great. Well designed, easy to work with and change the media on etc. The pump that this reactor is paired with is not cutting it. I'm probably going to have to T my return line on my return pump to get better flow. I would highly recommend the reactor, but the pump needs to be bigger/stronger to push the water thru the media. I get barely a trickle (10GPH, literally, I timed it on a five gallon bucket).

Easy Set Up By Daniel on 8/11/12
Daniel would recommend this product to a friend
Had the unit installed for about 2 weeks. Very easy set up. Comes with nice gate valve. Push fittings make set up a snap. Only minor compliant is that the tube is pretty stiff limiting the way you route the tube.

Nice Idea but! By anthony on 7/11/12
anthony wouldn't recommend this product to a friend
I have 2 of these and they both suffer from the same problem after a while they clog up and no longer work and I'm getting tired of cleaning them out before the gfo is ready to be changed. and the sponges even get hard and crusty. I'd recommend the UF15 universal reactor keeps the flow and the gfo tumbling .

very easy setup and use By chad on 7/6/12
chad would recommend this product to a friend
I find it very easy to get good flow thru the reactor to where my gfo tumbles, and carbon doesn't. Takes only about 10min to change out both sides. Will always use for my carbon, gfo needs

So Far Success By ben on 7/5/12

I have been using the reactor for around 6 months now. I seam to have much better results via reactor than I did with the media bag. Phosphates stay consistently lower.

Works like a charmin By Jocelyn on 7/3/12
Jocelyn would recommend this product to a friend
I love this reactor. After opening the shipping package I could tell right away that this was quality. I've had other reactors but this is by far the best one I have ever owned. Changing gfo/carbon is no longer a hassle. Has not leaked once and the push fittings that come with the kit are also quality. Highly recommended.

Working great By Micah on 6/19/12
Micah would recommend this product to a friend
purchased and used this reactor for about a week and so far so good no problems yet from what i see its well built and well designed I couldn't rate the performance a five because only had it for a week but the setup was pretty easy except for the hose being a little stiff and hard to work with overall great price for the buck

Solid design - mount could be stronger By Lee on 6/18/12
Lee would recommend this product to a friend
These reactors are solid design. The double unit has some weight if mounted on a wall - it could use a stronger mount like stainless steel. It's easly retrofitting if that is a design concern in your application.

best way to get rid of phosphates By Nicholas on 6/18/12
Nicholas would recommend this product to a friend
Definitely a good quality reactor that will last for years to come....It is really easy to setup, just fill up the inner container with GAC or GFO, then just plug in your pump and your ready to go....I would also suggest getting the cobalt mj1200 pump its definitely worth it.
