So after getting my custom bashsea sump I really like bashsea. Bashsea has a bio reactor which they promote as the heartbeat of the system and Steve says its more for stability than export. Anyone using one and thoughts on how it does?

What do they think about it? What persuaded you to get one as well?I know a LFS in Indianapolis (The Reef) who runs these and exclusively Bashea filtration on their marine systems. I have the 8–30 bioreactor but system isn’t quite up get. As you would expect the build up quality is top notch.
I have their 10g ato on the way, wanted it to match the sumpI have thier ato. They make nice equipment.
Getting another for my frag tank.

You will like it. Here is mine sits next to my 40 breeder sump.I have their 10g ato on the way, wanted it to match the sump
Yes I purchased one, Steve told me it’s the lifeline of the system and completely different then bio pellets most people get it confused with. It’s a 100% natural bio filter for systems with a large bio load that get fed heavy, it stabilizes the major water prams with none of the negatives of live rock long term. I still haven’t plumbed the new build yet so I can’t say much but I’m looking forward to seeing how it works and I think it’s a benefit no matter how you look at it. I’m a fan of a lot of live rock which I am only gonna be able to put enough as I can fit in the sump, until I find my dream display tank which the plan is to plumb downstairs to the grow out system.@The Camaro Show , did you ever receive any info on the reactor? On my upgrade I am planning on getting a Bashea sump, Ato tank, and a media reactor. I was wondering about the Bio reactor as well.
My upgrade will be a 225 gal CDA tank. I plan on going with at least 60 to 80 pounds of live rock to at least seed the marco rock. I have seen way to many Dino issues with dry rock, having gone thru it myself. After I get it up and running I plan on trying as natural of an approach to N03 and P04 export as possible as other methods have caused me nothing but issues. I am curious to see how it works in your system as I know you currently have more to loose than I do as you have all to high end sps corals, and wouldn't do something to jeopardize it as you are probably even more picky than I am, meant as a complement.Yes I purchased one, Steve told me it’s the lifeline of the system and completely different then bio pellets most people get it confused with.

Sounds like a beautiful tank! Looking for something similar in the 180-300 range still thinking Glass.. idk I’ve seen some acrylic tanks and like them but something is just holding me back. Thank you for your complement! I still haven’t haven’t decided on who I want to get my live rock from for that reason. Do you have any suggestions?My upgrade will be a 225 gal CDA tank.
