Clogs and is useless after a week... By sunny on 2/14/13

I have the single and it works great, this one is a waste of money. It would be nice for BRS to address this issue and get it resolved, the pump that came with this unit does not have enough flow and they should sell one that is designed to work for longer than a week.

Great product By Armando on 2/12/13

I used to use filter pads and place it in the water flow. Worked but not that great. So I bought the dual reactor and let me tell you that this is the only way to go. You are able to watch all media tumble and react with it. 100% effective. Saw great results immediately. Another quality product from BRS..

Great for the budget minded reefer! By JABlacher on 2/4/13

Can't argue with this setup at all. A twin canister reactor that you can mount on the wall with the attached mounting plate, a ball valve to adjust the flow and the available pump. How could you possibly get a more complete product at a better price. Put your carbon in one and GFO in the other and your media nightmares are over. This reactor is built like a tank and is ridiculously easy to change out media. Thanks BRS!

This thing clogs and doesn't allow water through it. I looked online and many people have this problem. BRS will deny its a product defect but do your research and you will discover how many dislike this product

i have been using this product for 2 months my tank has cleared up and seems to be doing exactly what was said about it

GREAT REACTOR, GREAT PRICE By Bryce on 1/24/13

This is a great reactor. I am using BRS GFO and BRS Premium ROX 0.8 carbon in mine. The thing only took a few minutes to setup and the included ball valve makes it even easier to adjust the flow rate to your liking. Do not let the low price fool you, this thing is very durable unlike some other reactors available. The MJ1200 is also a very good pump mated with this reactor. It is very quiet and offers a modest flow rate suitable for this application.

The only problem I encountered was that the included tubing was too short for my purposes as I am unable to fit the reactor under my stand (due to my sump using the whole space) and am forced to run it outside the stand. I was able to purchase some extra tubing at a local hardware store for only a few dollars though so it is only a minor inconvenience.

served me well By taylor on 1/19/13

this ordered this over a year ago and it has served me well. it isn't the quietest thing in the world but i think if you used it in the sump it would be.

Very durable and simple to set-up. I'm using a mag-drive 3 as recommended by others.

Like it! By Terrie on 1/16/13

I bought this about 2 months ago. Very easy assembly and very easy to change the media when needed. I noticed a substantial improvement in water clarity and phosphates were lowered within a couple of days.

I give it a 4 because I bought the full set up with the MJ1200 pump.. it needs a better pump! Should be changing the GFO weekly and the Carbon bi weekly. However, within a couple days the GFO has settled into a solid block and the water flow through it is very slow.

GREAT PRODUCT, GREAT PRICE!! By Todd on 1/14/13

Very easy to install with no leaks! Ended up tapping into return pump plumbing to feed it. Very versatile, I only use GFO when needed, since I normally run carbon from one canister. Make sure to buy extra refill cartridges to make maintenence a breeze.

Great value, easy media changes By Matt on 1/13/13

Matt would recommend this product to a friend

For media that needs changes at least monthly, this style of canister makes changing out media a breeze. I would suggest buyIng a couple extra BRS media cartridges to make media changes even easier. I'm currently running this reactor with a Mag 3 pump, and you could probably go with a smaller pump because I have the flow control valve half closed. The tubing and connections provided with this product are high quality with no leaks. The only negative I can think of is the small reactor size as it relates to the amount of gfo needed for my 180 gallon reef tank. I needed to buy the high capacity gfo to be used in this reactor as there is not enough room in the reactor to hold the amount of standard gfo that would be needed.

Awesome By Jeremy on 1/10/13

I love this reactor and BRS support. The bracket tat holds the reactors broke and BRS sent me a new one, no questions asked. I have seen a great improvement in water quality with the dual reactors.
