This is my second reactor. I use GFO in one and activated carbon in the other. No leaks and work just fine for a reasonable price.

This thing does it's job and for the price i can't complain. The lid isn't hard to get off as long as you don't crank it down when you put it on. I've never had any problem. Remember it has an o-ring seal, you don't have to tighten it down too much. The media is a bit of a pain to put in, but it's not the reactor's fault.

I jam this thing with carbon pellets, GFO, whatever I need. It's worked well for me. I didn't buy the GFO separators Two Little Fishies sells but instead took a carbon mesh bag and cut out circles a little larger than the diameter of the cylinder. I put them in between the GFO and sponge. Works for me.The only complaint I have is more of a worry. The little rubber 90? elbows that slip on the top hose barbs cracked after about a month. I swear they will split open and pump the sump dry making the floor, you guessed it, wet. I wiggle these with the utmost caution out of fear. I would recommend either buying a truckload of these OR do what I will do shortly and just plumb the hose directly to the barb fittings in the unit top. If you mount this on a sump you'll have much more freedom with plumbing. Back mounting will put the hose barbs at tank rim height so unless you use elbows the hose will have a rainbow arch.

I bought this because of the great reviews; however, it does not work that great with biopellets. You need to change to the plastic screens instead of the sponges and you need 10x more power on the pump from what it suggest to move the pellets and to not get clumps and crash you tank. What I did to mine was cut a hard plastic ball and place the cut off piece and placed it on the bottom where the intake water hits. This will guide the water flow upward evenly throughout instead of crashing and loosing momentum. This has really improve the movement on the biopellets. Got the idea from a reactor that cost $130. My idea cost me $8 for the ball I cut up plus $48 of the reactor. Lot cheaper!

This is easy to hook up and use. No problems on the operation side. The pieces are a little on the flimsy side, but for the price, I am not expecting something bullet proof. Overall pretty good.

The reactor works great and easy to install. But for cost of the reactor is should come with four secured clips and ties to secure the hoses instead of One of each.

very sturdy, works as described. water tight. seems just as good or better than some more expensive models i looked at. i use it to put Seachem's Denitrate in. and use the included ball valve to bring down the flow to less than 50gph so that it works to remove nitrates.
