Two Little Fishes Phosphate Reactor

I was just wondering if anyone runs these? I know that the Forehands do, and they love it. I just got one last Sunday and hooked it up using phosban, and my reef is looking much better. I would recommend anyone w/a reef run one of these.

I'd just like to know who has them, and how much flow they get out of there's. It's been a little tricky getting it adjusted out usinga RIO 600 w/an flow adjustment valve. Mine 'dances' on top, and really tumbles about the middle and down in the bottom of the reactor. If you are using one, is this normal?
 
I like mine. It's not exactly a must-have, but can be a nice little addition. I run my Phosban with the Mini-jet 606 on mine, it's what TLF suggested anyway.
 
Love 'em. Have one with Phosban and one with carbon for my 33g holding tank. I use a small about of phosban, because the inbound water sponge can get pretty dirty, so regular cleaning is required.
 
I run one and wouldn't be without it now that I've "experienced" it. I use a small cal-mag pump. Right now I have Rowaphos in it and it tumbles a little on top, but not in the middle. The Rowaphos is smaller than Phosban. I have some Phosban to try for my next change-out.
 
From what I've read, there isn't much different than the cost. I'm fight bright neon green algae, that's like slime algae, but not. So far, this has made little to no impact, so I'm not sure what to do. I've scraped and scrubbed, and sucked it out, but it's back more than ever. I do have some phosphates in the tank due to a bad ro membrane, but it has been replaced 2 40gal water changes ago, but still no dice. It hasn't improved even w/the reactor. I'm thinking it might be some type of cyano, but I've never see anything like it. I hate to use anything to try to kill it and be unsuccessful because I don't want chemicals in the water, so I'd take any advice given, but it may come down to at least try it. It's mainly on the substrate, but is starting to get on the rocks. I have massive flow, and new to 1 month old bulbs, and all chemistry is in check. It's a mystery!!!!!!!!!!
