new tank setup reactor questions
I am setting up a 150 gallon tank with a 40 gallon sump. I have one Mr-1 reactor so far. I want to run 3 reactors. One with gfo, one with carbon, and one with something for nitrates. My question is this, I need two more reactors. What brand reactor would you recommend, are the two little fishies reactors o.k. if so, would you use the 150 or the bigger 550 reactor. What media is best for nitrates? And which media would work best in the Mr1 reactor I currently have? Thanks for all the help
So basically I will have one Mr1 reactor with what media, and two little fishies reactors with what media in those? |

A lot of people like the two little fishies reactors....I have read up on them and think the 550 is probably what you want for either bio-pellets or GFO.
I probably would try carbon in your Mr1. |

I like these: http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/store/...reactor-1.html
You can also buy generic version with no pump for cheaper. Replacement parts are also cheap.

The TLF reactors work well for carbon and gfo. If you are going to run biopellets I would look into one specifically made for the pellets like the Aquamaxx.
