Reactors tumble the media via a pump and a cylinder. The benefit is max surface area the impurities will have contact with. When one puts in a bag or in between a baffle the path of least restistants will be taken.
While it's not absolutely necessary it is more economical

Since you are into buying coral now it would be wise to start researching some extra equipment. While it's not as exciting as a frag or colony it may help in the long term sucsess to keeping a reef
