Quick and Dirty - P04 Reactors?

I am going to implement a Phosphate Reactor but I have learned that before I buy anything I should always see what you guys RC Members) would do first. Have made big mistakes in the past by not doing this simple check.

What P04 reactor would you buy or have bught?

What medium would you use or are using.

Thanks for the help!

The world would be lost with out forums!!!

Ditto on the Two Little Fishes PhosBan 150. It's smaller than the AquaC product and has a good, solid design. I'm using the TLF GFO PhosBan media as well.

The via aqua is much cheaper and includes the pump and control valve, you don't have to buy anything else.
