Media reactors for large systems

[NH Fish]

What is everyone out there using for media reactors? I have a 300 gal system and most of the reactors seem small. Looking to run bio pellets, and gfo reactors.

I currently have the GEO 420 Media Reactors that are nice but a PITA to change media. I plan on replacing them with BRS media reactors for GFO/Carbon. I don't run biopellets so cannot speak to that.

Once my 1000 gallon system is up and running plan on buy three of the following (2 for GFO and 1 for Carbon).

I have two BRS jumbo reactors. One for Rox carbon and one for GFO. I modified the in takes and outflows to accommodate larger tubing and mounted the reactors to a wall over my work sink. The sump has two Eheim 2000 pumps each to a reactor. The best part is the maintance which is quick, BRS develops many of their products very well and with much hobbist input. My only complaint is the leak prone connections which were poorly designed, but it was very easy to add new connectors to the reactors which are built like tanks. Changing media is like changing a tire at the Indy 500! Quick-quick-quick!

I made two. Each hold a gallon of BRS bio pellets. One is in the sump, the other could go either way. 4.5 inches diameter and 4 ft tall each. I will post pics later. One is on a 350, the other is on a 1000 gal.
