Sad to see this post Ricky.
Your set up is only about a year old right? Lot's of things newer than that, too. Some pics from the last time I saw it,

 

[rickyb]

Sure is a sad time to see this go, thanks for posting pics Bob.
McLaughlin4, I'm usually home by 4pm.
Here is a full shot about a month or so ago.

Do you have any pics of this reactor or any additional info? I really think I need a reactor. I'm currently fighting off hair algae.

AquaC XP Plus Phosphate Reactor - 4 inch Diameter

I already started checking it out...how do you feed the reactor...powerhead? Can you have 2 of them being fed by one pump? Perhaps one for Phosphate remover and the other for Activated carbon? Do you have to fill the entire cylinder?

I may be in for both reactors.

[Fish_wiz2]

You got PM

 

[Ladipyg]

AW ricky...you will be missed here up north...but anything that's better for you and the family has my support. If you need anything just let me know. PM me a good time to stop by so I can maybe pick up some frags from you.(Especially any millieporas you might have after my water changing problem, I'm looking to replace some.) I can always frag things back and ship some to you in Texas when your ready to start up again. LMK
