What are your favorite reactors to run for carbon or GFO. I'm thinking about buying bigger reactors to run more flow through to keep the tank cleaner longer. I've used the BRS dual reactor and currently 2 x single BRS reactors.

Let us know how you do it :)

I dont do carbon since I am 90 percent SPS, never have-

As far as GFO, the basic 2 little fishies reactor is what I have been using for years-Current PO4 is .02, I changed the media about every 12-16 weeks, my skimmers have always kicked butt and I feed at least 3x a day-

SWC rocks!

I use both a tlf reactor and a next reef mr1. Both work fine ..... overall I prefer the next reef, especially on the bigger tank. I use them both for gfo - run carbon passively.
 

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
