WTB Reactor

[andyrm66]

Need one like now for my 100 gallon. Two little fishes, BRS dont really care. My SRO-2000 decied to pe a POS and overflow dumping a cup full of fish crap back in the tank. Some acros are losing flesh and before this happend P04 was at .1 so Im sure its not helping matters.

I can order from BRS but figured Id see if anyone has one to sell.
Thanks!

I have one you can use if you need it right now

Thanks for the offer. I put rest of my gro in a filter sock see how that does, also brought another skimmer online see ig I can pull that crap out faster.

Chris is a great stand up guy, was will to bring his GFO reactor to me. Im passing at this time due to not knowing when I would get it back to him, either way it was very nice of him to offer!
If your selling one, let me know.

I've got a Red Sea Merlin fluidized bed filter I used as a GFO reactor for quite a while. You can adjust the flow rate pretty accurately with the built in valve. I ran it on this ViaAqua 300lph powerhead and it worked well. I'll give you that if you want it? It pumps the water down a pipe in the center, then it flows up through the media.

I've been running the BRS dual reactor a few months now, so this is clean and ready to load.

I have one that Gabe borrowed but don't think he is using right now, you are welcome to it. It is a two little fishy.

Fishy, how do you like the dual? Was thinking of order that one. How does it compare to the merlin?

 

[chrislorentz]

I love my Dual that is what I run now in my main display

The nice thing about the BRS reactors is the refillable cartridges and the ease of use. Also separation of the media is nice.

The Merlin works fine, never had any issues once loaded. Loading media without getting it into that pipe kinda Sux though.

Thanks for the hookup Troy! Its working great.

Though it was an adventure. First, when you build something, you shoudl make sure you have everything you need. I went to HD to get stuff to build a manifold. Get home and rather than glue the new manifold, what do I do? I cut the return where its going to go, then get ready to glue. Guess what, glue is bad. Crap, sump is in basement, tank upstairs, not good, you get the picture. Lucky for me walmart carries PVC glue. Next, I drop the lid to one of my skimmers and break it, ok, lets glue that back, now I have super glue on my cell phone. Okay, the foam I use to cover the tank isnt positioned right, causing part of the overflow water to drain on the floor, great, fix that, caught it and only lost a gallon or so.

What a night! And I wasnt even drinking!

That Merlin looks pretty cool. Looks far more sturdy than a two little fishes reactor too.
