Good afternoon Tom , I’m looking at an algae reactor . Would this be best and can you recommend one ?

I've never used an algae reactor although I have considered it. I think they can be more effective than, and easier to maintain than, a refugium if you are only looking for nutrient export.

Tunze makes a very good one but they are not that hard to DIY. If I'm remembering correctly, @1ocean just built one. You just need a clear-sided reactor plumbed into the system with a light source and a hunk of your favorite macro algae. I'm pretty sure I've seen a few designs in the R2R DIY forum as well.

I think that’s against your diet.

Sadly yes it really was !thankfully had some mixed water to just add to the tank itself so all can hopefully stay alive :/ but I can’t turn it on due to the sump pump like exploding down there an it got all over the controller areas an everything :/ don’t mind my messy room kinda started rearranging an throwing stuff around to put it on the water

Was it just the pump or did a seam split in the sump?

@Galaxy_Aquatics
Did you get Jaffa yet? Make sure you add that to the lunch to try list.

Gearing up for tomorrow? I’m finished today. Just going easy on the back now. Needed to get the stairs finished since it will be rainy for the next several days. Possibly snowy too. Yup, I used the S word.
