Have any of you used one of the Aquaready Sigma reactors as an algae reactor? Seems like it would be pretty simple to wrap it in some glow lights. The easy of maintenance is always my big gripe with reactors because if it's much work I'm just not going to maintain them. This seems like it'd be a pretty easy solution. Anything I'm missing or overlooking?

Let me know of any updates trying to do a similar thing too this. Bumping for more help.

I think it would be a good style of reactor for it. I think I'm gonna ditch the idea and just start using phosphate RX though. I feed really heavy and think it's gonna be the only way I can dial in phosphates.

I see, good luck
