Best Media reactors?? Best bang for Buck?

[Emoney]

Im looking to purchase 2 media reactors. was wondering what your guys thoughts were on them?

I was looking at the GSA, BRS, ones...any others?

life reef are nice reactors.. if its a small tank the 2 litle fishies can't be beat on the price and there actually pretty nice just add hose clamps to them...

I use the BRS dual. It's nice but I wish I went with two singles. If you run GFO, your not getting much flow through the carbon as the GFO is first and limits the flow through the reactor.

BRS Dual reactors are awesome....very well priced...and by far, IMO, the easiest to clean and replace media...

FWIW, if you want to save even more, come and join in on the BRS Group Buy I am setting up here on R2R :)

BRS Dual +1; I brought two extra Refillable Cartridges. It is a whole lot easier to empty out dry carbon and GFO :D

my humble opinion is that the nextreef reactors are still the best bang for the buck.

I looking to set up 2 separate realtors..One to run carbon threw..the second to run GFO....powered by 2 MJ 400...

Oh..total system Volume is around 180 gl...( i guess that would be helpful to know)

I bought two BRS Dual Reactors. 1 dual to run GFO, and another dual to run Carbon. I like to overdo it.

i also have a single brs reactor and i love it.....easy to clean out......i also bought a extra cartridge just to make it much more easier to do the maintenance

I ended up with the BRS Dual Reactor because of the price, and many happy customers. My 2nd choice would be the NextReef MR2's. 2 Little Fishies probably too small for your tank plus lots of mixed reviews about them.
