Hi all,
I’m looking to upgrade and add some equipment to my sump.
Currently running a TMC Reef-skim 200. Reading some reviews supposedly it’s not that great and there’s better, what would you recommend for my 36G with sump? My main complaint with it is the LOUD buzzing. Tired of years of...

Hello,
I have a 100 gallon DT with a 34-gallon sump. Probably 100 gallons total. I run a skimmer, and carbon in a reactor. I have previously run GFO mixed with the carbon but eventually moved to auto-dosing NoPOx. For a while everything was good. 0.1 phosphate, 1 nitrate. Over the last few...
Selling my Brand New AquaMaxx XS Media Reactor
Took it out if the box and custom painted the top, bottom gray and thumb screws red for my build
Never used - Brand New
$45 shipped
Hello,
I have an extra BRS Carbon/GFO deluxe reactor that i'm wanting to sell. Its brand new in the box never been opened. Normal price is $70 looking to get $55 for it, willing to ship in the US only.
So I just upgraded to a JBJ 65, and in the market for a media reactor to run GFO. I currently have an IM Minimax Desktop reactor, and find that it's a bit loud and ineffective. What are some low profile/quiet reactors that wouldn't need to be run in a sump?
I've been looking at the Aquamaxx...
So I bought the BRS Carbon/GFO Reactor Deluxe with the recommended Sicce Syncra Silent 1.5 pump. Anyone have any idea how to get the 1/2 inch tubing with Mur-Lok fitting to go on the pump as seen in the photos below? I’m at a loss. Figured they would’ve sent me everything needed to install...
So I tried to make a reactor using a soda bottle and a powerhead, cheese cloth and rubber band. So now my tank is cloudy and rust particles are everywhere. I took it out and did a 50% water change.
So my question? On the in take hose going into the sump I currently have a soda bottle on the...
Hey everyone I’m new to R2R and I’ve Decided to share the progress of my new build! I bought a used SCA 50 gal cube aquarium with stand and sump for $200. After cleaning it up a bit I decided to remove the black vinyl backing. I went ahead and painted the back as well as the bottom of the tank...
How long can GFO run before it is depleted? One month? two months? forever as long as the phosphates do not rise?
When do I know when the GFO is depleted?
Can one Run GFO to long besides stripping the phosphates out of the system?
How much do you run in your system?
It would be great to...
Simple question:
What chemical filter media are you running?
I am currently running NONE in my tank, have run a reactor in the past with carbon & GFO, but found it a hassle.
Have run purigen as well.
Looking forward to the answers!
I recently purchased a Red Sea Reefer 350. I have been looking at different pluming styles and finally narrow it down to one. So for this setup I need 3 reactors, the two that I am looking at are BRS Dual Reactors or the AquaMaxx Reactors. This brings me to my question, "are GFO and Carbon Media...
