JL Aquatics has the TLF phosphate reactor on sale right now. Here's a link to the whole package (which includes all the tubing and pump, media, etc)

http://www.jlaquatics.com/product/tf-reactor2/Two+Little+Fishies+Phosban+Reactor+150+Package.htm l

I bought one of these, works amazing. And it's at a great price. I know you wanted cheap and local, but they would only take a couple days to get out to you. And if you order over $100, they'll do free shipping too.

In this hobby, definitely not. I finally picked up my frag tools while I was at it! :biggrin:

I am also running the same reactor from J&L and it does a good job

So +1 to the TLF reactor package form J&L

Keep your eyes peeled, I recently picked up 2 used for $10 each

[nanoreefnewbie]

IMO, JL offers great deals. However, that may be a little biased for me - all we have is 1 saltwater fish/supply store here, and although they don't price things that stupid, the selection isn't really that broad, unless they special order it for you, which then is cheaper to find it elsewhere online.

As for the TLF reactor -- it also works amazing with carbon! So once you get the phosphates down with it, and learn to control them with reduced feeding, etc, maybe look into putting carbon in it? I was contemplating buying the "pro" package so I had one for each, but I just don't have that space on my current tank. However, anyone know if there'd be a problem putting both phosphate remover AND carbon in the same reactor?

imo carbon is useless unless you have a highly stocked softie tank with lots of leathers, or a sps dominant tank loaded with sps to close together.

i would run gfo always and forget about carbon, nutrient export is more important of the two.

+1 to that! I have always been told that carbon is vital ... but thinking about that, I'm pretty sure those people only had SPS in their tanks. I got 1 pink finger leather, and that's it for SPS at this point. Guess I won't bother with carbon then! :razz:

make your own choices based on what you keep , the finger leather is a softie and not a sps , sps are hard corals with small polyps.


carbon is right for some people and not needed for others.

yes both carbon and gfo can be ran together but gfo tumbles slowly so carbon would be more effective by its self on its on flow.

Hmm. Good to know! Thanks! I'm new to the world of corals still. hehe

I was actually wondering myself the same question in regards to running both Phosban and Carbon in the same reactor and emailed TLF and they replied with this:

Dear Christian,

For a 34 gallon tank you only need one reactor, not two.


You can mix the carbon and PhosBan in the same reactor. We recommend our HydroCarbon2 for this purpose because it does not leach any phosphate.


Your proposed pump arrangement is not good. This is best done with the reactor hanging on the back. If you tried it the way you proposed it would be difficult to service the reactor and you would have a high probability of a leak. I believe you can fit the reactor in the chamber where the denitrator is optionally located. I don't know whether the back area cover can accommodate the reactor fittings however.


Sincerely,


Tech Support
