which phosphate reactor?

[goby1kenobi]

Our source water has a high phosphate level. I'm looking at a phosphate reactor as probably the best way to deal with it for our 55g brackish puffer tank.*

What's a good phosphate reactor for this size of tank?

I've learned to not pick the cheapest model available (since you typically end up replacing them sooner), but there's still a wider variety of options than I'd expected.

Any other suggestions for pumps & other needed equipment for said phosphate reactor would be welcome, as the online stores' web pages don't give a whole lot of info on that front.

Thanks in advance!

*(Freshwater, I'd use plants; saltwater, I'd do a chaeto 'fuge; neither will work for mid-range brackish w/ a puffer!)

i think the 2 little fishies reactor seems to be a popular one, and is inexpensive as well.

I was wondering if anyone tried the Simplicity reactor?
BRS seems to like it, they have a video.

I have a TLF reactor on my 60g cube, and it is a great value, IMO. For my larger system (~350g total) I just ordered 2 of the single cahmber reactors from bulk reef supply. I like the abilty to adjust the flow of the carbon and phosphate reactors seperatly.

If you are looking to kill two birds with one stone, then go with the dual reactor from BRS.
