Needing some good info on ^^^^^
What kind reactors are you guys running and why?
What kind of media you run in it and explain why you choose that?
Btw, if you know any referring links to this subject on R2R please post that too.
 
I have a Two Little Fishies phosban reactor that I run gfo in. I just installed it today to help with a phosphate problem. The Reef Chemistry forum has tons of material on this. Randy Holmes-Farley has a lot of articles there. It's really helpful.
 
BRS Carbon, BRS Bio Pellet and TLF Kalk reactor 300
Carbon - To Polish Water
Bio Pellets - Reduce Po4 & No3 (I modded it and still req a good amount of flow)
Kalk - Calcium (more efficient that adding it to an RO/DI reservoir)

I chose the BRS type because i could tap off my return manifold to run them.

Back when i was using bio pellets i ran Hydra Aquatics BioPellet Reactor that and loved it.

Im contemplating going back to biopellets again now and wouldn't use any other reactor

whoops forgot to add in, i ran bio pellets to keep my no3/po4 levels nice and low with very little effort, didnt have to dose anything daily
