I'm just starting a 280 gallon build. I really like the looks of Bashsea's gear. I was just curious if anyone here uses or has used their products and what they think of them. I was planning going all Bashsea filtration.

What about them did you not like?I use and like the Bashsea sumps.....the media reactors on the other hand i would avoid. I switched to three of them to match my sump and regretted it from day one due to their design. I should have stuck with my cheap BRS reactors.
The design is horrible. They look great......but I wouldn't never buy them again. The water enters the top and is directed down through a tube to the bottom, where the water then flows back up through the media. Unfortunately only about half of the water actually makes it into the tube....the rest just escapes into the canister to then be pumped back into the tank. Also, when changing the media, you have to slide an o ring down the tube to hold a plastic tray and sponge in place, otherwise the water pushes it all to the top. With my reactors, I cannot get my hands into them to push this O-ring to the bottom. I have to use two wooden spoons and try to push it down, often bending back a fingernail or two in the process. I actually reached out to Bashsea a few times asking some design questions but never heard back from them. Here is a picture if it helps explain. Maybe they have changed the design since I installed these.What about them did you not like?
