Buy It By John on 6/1/11

Great reactor. I bought 2 of these to upgrade from my Dual BRS GFO and Carbon reactor that had become too small when I upgraded to a 200 gallon tank. I find that my mag drive 5 will not tumble 4 cups of GFO so make sure to go with a large pump.

I purchased two for GFO and Carbon. It's made much better than I expected. Very high quality. By far the best one I have ever purchased.

The sturdy build makes canister removal easy. I prefer this unit over the standard reactor because of the sturdy mounting bracket.

Good - but GFO is challenging By Brad on 3/2/11
Brad would recommend this product to a friend
I bought two of these. One for GFO and the other for carbon. The units are built very well and I like the swivel connectors. The mounting bracket is beefy and would probably support a truck. The only downfall I have is in using the BRS GFO pellets. The pellets are small enough they pass through the filter sponge and into my sump. It's only a small amount, but it's enough to require the use of a filter sock. If you are using GFO in one of these I highly recommend dumping it into a filter sock and not directly into your aquarium or sump. I did price the components separately to see what it would cost to make my own and I couldn't beat it - so I think it is a great value for what you get.

This thing is awesome. Its built very well and makes changing carbon a breeze!! It was always a pita to run carbon in my system because of limited space in my sump but now its a simple matter to change and maintain the carbon. Its a excellent addition to my system!

Nice Reactor By Mike R. on 8/27/10

I set up my Jumbo reactor. It is for a 150 Gallon tank with around a 25 gallon sump.
Bigger than I thought, but this thing is rock solid. I have 3 cups of pellet GFO running in it.
Fairly simple to set up. Basically plug in the pump and that is it. A MJ1200 barely pushed the pellets, but it seemed to work. I wound up feeding it off my main pump instead.
A lot of help from BFS. The best part of the product is their support both before I bought it and then after.

Great Product!!! By Jorge on 6/16/10

I had to purchase this Jumbo reactor to use with my CO2 Scrubber media. The regular sized reactors were chocking my air flow to my skimmer and not allowing the skimmer to work properly. I have the AquaC 400 skimmer. With this Jumbo reactor and its 1 inch ports, my issue was resolved.
