Phosphate Reactor

[SteveOhh]

OK, I've decided to run a phosphate reactor in my system instead of trying to use media bags in my sump. This will also allow me to use both carbon & phosphate removers depending on my situation. Question is who makes the best phosphate reactor? I've been looking at Kent Marine's & 2 Little Fishies, but I also came across Aquamedics version too. I've read that they all recomend a 80-120 gph pump for the reactors. I kinda wanna shy away from Rio's, so would Maxijet powerheads work in this situation?

Thanks for the help in advance!!

i think most people go w/the 2little fishies reactor. you can use two if you want and just split the pump.

I like the Mini-jet 606 with my 2 Little Fishes reactor. The pump is slightly adjustable for differnet media types. They are not too expensive and mine have been very reliable.

i'm using 2littlefishes, it works fine for me, i'm using a small rio, but i think the mini/micro jets should work.. but definitely aim to keep less than 100 gph running, mine i measured at around 45 gph and its working good.

use phosban media , the 2little phishies reactor is the standard
