i think the 2 little fishes reactor is best for value, i have a kent, i use a maxi jet 400 on it and i did get a leak, so ive had to put some bathroom silicon around it, i will get the 2 little fishes next time i want 1, however im sure that other makes are good as well

Michael, you're an electrical contractor and you said silicon, lol. Just kidding. I use the Two fishes. Good piece of equipment for what you need it to do.

make your own. PVC pipe with screw on fittings. some clear hose, a "plastic pot scrubber" for a media sponge. boom...... 4 dollar reactor. who cares if its clear. you know whats in there.
if you want a clear one. make one out of those hiking water bottles and some silicone for a few bux |
