Hob reactor

gareth.hubbarde · 05/11/2019, 11:21 AM

Hey all, so my hob skimmer is getting sorted next week. Getting a deltec mce 600 for under £100, when they are £350 online I'll take it. So I was looking at other options for hob equipment, if I was to go full reef, at the moment I'm fowlr with few softs. Are there any recommendations for hob equipment, I will be honest I came up with zero for good size hob reactors. Do companies do such things?

IMHO, you just cannot beat the TLF (Two Little Fishes) 150. I bought one when they first came out - say 25+ years ago, and it is still going strong. You can run it off a tiny powerhead. I used a minijet 400 that was throttled back about 50% when it was on my 60 cube. It can be used as a carbon reactor (reverse flow) or as a GFO reactor in standard flow configuration.
